Dear Parents and Carers,

We are pleased to inform you that the measures taken to raise the temperature inside the school have been successful, and the building is now at a suitable and comfortable temperature for effective learning.

As a result, school is open as normal for all pupils today.

Full school uniform is expected, and students may wear base layers under their school uniform for additional warmth if they wish.

Please also refer back to the start-of-term letter for details on uniform expectations and the changes to school entrances in the mornings.

We would like to thank you for your patience and understanding while we worked to resolve these issues. Your support has been greatly appreciated.

We look forward to welcoming all students into school today.
