Stay safe in the hot weather

With the temperatures set to rise over the weekend and into next week we want to remind everyone, especially those scheduled to sit exams, to take sensible steps to stay safe and comfortable during this period.

If you are attending exams, please:

  • Stay hydrated: Bring plenty of water with you. Opaque reusable bottles are permitted in exam venues.
  • Dress appropriately: Wear light, breathable clothing and comfortable layers to help manage the heat.
  • Plan ahead: Allow extra time for travel and avoid rushing in hot conditions.
  • Look after yourself: Pay attention to how you are feeling and seek assistance if you begin to feel unwell.
