Joseph Leckie Academy

An Update from the Principal - Further to my letter earlier this week regarding the closure of our schools due to extreme temperatures, I am writing to confirm that the school will also remain closed on Friday. Following a further review of the latest forecast, which shows no significant improvement in conditions, the Met Office Red Weather Warning remains in place. In addition, the CEO has visited our schools, and has identified a significant build-up of residual heat within the buildings, meaning temperatures in classrooms remain unacceptably high. Despite all mitigation measures previously outlined, it is still not possible to provide a safe or suitable learning environment for pupils and staff. As such, we must extend the closure for one further day. Please see our letters home page for more information
