As part of the closures, a West Midlands education trust has closed all 25 of its schools in response to the incoming red alert temperatures.

Schools in the Arthur Terry Learning Partnership (ATLP) have over 10,000 pupils, and over 1,500 members of staff, who will not be attending today and tomorrow.

This follows a move by the White Horse Federation, an organisation that oversees over 30 schools in the Swindon area, to close all its institutions while the red alert is in force.

This leaves 11,000 pupils in 24 primary , four secondary schools, and two SEN schools without education as the heatwave continues.

Anticipating extreme temperatures that could beat the UK record of 40.3C, several schools in Hampshire have also announced temporary closures.

The has said “During the heatwave expected to affect a large part of England and Wales this week, the highlighted area now looks increasingly likely to see a two to three day period where maximum temperatures in the shade exceed 37 Celsius, perhaps rising to 38 to 40 Celsius in some places.”

Currently, there is no legal maximum temperature for classrooms in the UK, and closing schools due to hot weather is unusual in England and Wales.

A spokesperson from the told The Sun: “In terms of who decides if a school stays open or closed, it’s up to the school rather than the local authority.”

However, new advice from the Department asks schools and early years settings to “review actions to manage heat for all pupils and staff” when a red alert is indicated.

Heatwave have continued to impact towns and cities across the UK, with disruptions anticipated for National Rail services all across the country.
