☀️ Hot Weather Update ☀️
With the temperatures set to be very high over the coming days, we are putting as many safety measures in place as possible to help keep everyone cool and comfortable.
We have:
✅ Put up gazebos to provide additional shade for pupils
✅ Moved tables into shaded areas
✅ Opened up Forest School for extra shade and outdoor space
✅ Set up water stations around the school
✅ Hired industrial fans for our communal areas to help keep temperatures down
To support these measures, please ensure your child comes to school with:
🧢 A sun hat
💧 A filled water bottle
☀️ Sun cream applied before school (and packed if appropriate)
Thank you for your support as we work together to keep everyone safe during the hot weather

What a fantastic day Meerkats class had at Whipsnade Zoo! ☀️🐻🐧🦁
As well as seeing some amazing animals, the children enjoyed educational talks and fun interactive games, discovering fascinating facts about the bears, penguins, rhinos and lions. A day full of learning, laughter and wonderful memories!

Owl class had a fantastic day at Whipsnade Zoo on Friday! They saw rhinos, baby elephants and so many more cute animals!
They were lucky enough to arrive in time to see the otters have their lunch and enjoyed exploring the butterfly house!
We’re so proud of our pupils for their excellent behaviour and for being wonderful ambassadors for The Vale Academy!
