Too hot to Learn? Heatwave hits UK schools: Points of View

from Teachers Talk Radio · host Teachers Talk Radio

As temperatures continue to soar across parts of the UK and Europe, schools are once again facing difficult decisions about how to respond to extreme heat. Should schools remain open regardless, adapting through shorter days, relaxed uniform rules and additional water breaks? Or are heatwave closures a sensible response to genuine health and safety concerns, particularly in older buildings not designed for sustained high temperatures? Listen back to this bumper two hour Points of View.  On the panel: Tom Rogers, Liz Webb, Alun Ebenezer, Rich Walkden, Alistair Wood, Maud Waret, Kit Marie Rackley, JP.
