MHS update 16-6-2023

A short blog this week, but still time to do more than just skirt around a few issues to do with the heat.

1. It’s been really hot in school this week…but students and staff have shown real determination to carry on as normal. It’s not been easy at all and I’ve been impressed by the resilience on show.
2. Like always when it’s really hot, we haven’t expected students to wear blazers all week*
3. Students who choose to wear skirts do not have to wear tights for the rest of the academic year
4. We have free water dispensers in four locations around the site and have encouraged all students to bring a bottle and fill up each break and lunch – hundreds have been doing so
5. The wearing of full school uniform is an integral part of the school ethos, promoting positive attitudes, high standards and a sense of personal pride. Plenty of students this week have politely, sensibly and maturely asked if they can wear shorts instead of trousers.  We are always keen to listen to our students and have discussed with them the reasons for our choices which they have indicated they have understood.

Have a great weekend!

*As it stands, due to cooler weather, we expect blazers to be brought into school on Monday 19th June.
