As of Sunday afternoon, a total of seven schools run by Shropshire Council confirmed they would only be partially open on days when temperatures are forecast to reach 36C. A statement accompanying each school listed as partially open reads: “We are reducing the opening of our schools on Monday and Tuesday (July 18 and 19). “We will be open to parents who need us to accommodate their children – but we advise all parents to keep students at home where they are practical and safe, to complete distance education. Any parent or carer who needs us to accommodate their child will be able to send to school as usual.” Schools listed as partially open are:
Bridgnorth schools are closing
Castlefields Primary School St Leonard’s CofE Primary School
