Emergency school closure

Monday 22nd June 2026

Dear parents/carers

Due to the forecast severe heat, Bournville Primary school will be closed all day on Wednesday 24 June 2026 and Thursday 25 June 2026:

The safety of our pupils, staff and families remains our top priority. We understand that this closure may cause inconvenience, but this decision has been made to ensure the wellbeing of everyone in our school community.

Weather can be unpredictable. If conditions improve, we will reassess our position and may reverse this closure. We will communicate any changes to our current plans should this be necessary. Rest assured the current situation will be kept under constant review and any updates issued to families as soon as possible.

Please continue to check the school social media, text services, emails and school websites for the latest information.

We ask that you take care during the hot weather, you may find the following public health heat‑safety guidance helpful:

Heatwave - how to cope in hot weather - NHS

Heatstroke and heat exhaustion - NHS

Thank you for your patience and understanding as we work to keep children, staff and families safe.

Please contact the school should you have any further questions around this matter.  

Kind Regards

Marie Berry 

Headteacher
