School Closure: Friday 26 June 2026

School Closure: Friday 26 June 2026

Following a meeting of our central team this morning, we had planned to reopen the school on Friday 26 June. However, since that decision was made, the weather warning has been escalated to a red alert.

After further checks and risk assessments, we have taken the decision that the school will remain closed on Friday 26 June.

We understand that this may cause disruption for families, and we want to reassure you that this decision has not been taken lightly. The safety and wellbeing of our students and staff, alongside maintaining high-quality learning provision, remain our priorities, and we believe this is the safest course of action.

Learning Arrangements

Work will continue to be set for all students via our usual online platforms. Students are expected to engage with this work as they would during a normal school day.

Examinations and Events 

• Year 10 and Year 12 mock examinations will not take place on Friday and will be rescheduled
• The Year 11 Prom will go ahead as planned this evening

East Sussex National Hotel has confirmed the venue is air-conditioned, and we will ensure there is plenty of water available to keep students hydrated.

Free School Meals

Free School Meal HUGG vouchers will be issued to eligible families. Further details will be shared directly.

Looking Ahead

We expect to return to normal routines and expectations next week, including uniform.

We will continue to monitor conditions closely and provide further updates if required.

If you have any questions, please contact your child’s Year Team in the first instance.

Thank you for your continued support and understanding.
