Schools Struggle as Heatwaves Hit Classrooms | Nottingham News

A Nottinghamshire primary school is battling extreme heat—classrooms hit nearly 40°C, forcing kids to be sent home. With an old building and no air conditioning, staff and students are enduring sweat-soaked days, even resorting to water fights (until the hosepipe ban). Now, they’re crowdfunding £2,400 to install AC in every classroom, highlighting how climate change is turning basic school safety into a public funding crisis. Parents are rallying behind them, but the headteacher is frustrated that such essentials must be begged for—especially when offices have AC as standard. With summer looming, the school is racing to protect its 65 pupils and staff before the next heatwave hits. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
