The first ever red extreme heat warning is in place covering Shropshire - what does it mean for schools?
State-run schools in Shropshire and Telford and Wrekin areas are all currently set to remain open on Monday and Tuesday
The final decision on whether a school could close is down to the headteacher who will decide if their staff and students are at risk. Already, some headteachers in other parts of the countryAs of Saturday night, neither Shropshire or Telford & Wrekin Council were listing any closures on their websites.
Measures that schools put into place are things like adjustments to uniform, allowing pupils to wear"loose, light-coloured clothing to help keep cool and sunhats with wide brims", while they should also stay in the shade"as much as possible". Schools are also advised to keep the use of electric lighting to a minimum, and to not leave equipment that generates heat in 'standby mode'.
