Heatwave Safety Tips for Supply Workers: Staying Safe in Hot Weather

Teaching in Hot Weather

Heatwaves can make the school day more challenging for both staff and pupils. As a supply teacher, being prepared can help you stay comfortable and focused throughout the day.

Top Tips for Supply Staff:

  • Bring a refillable water bottle and stay hydrated throughout the day.
  • Wear light, professional clothing suitable for warmer temperatures.
  • Make use of shaded outdoor areas during breaks where available.
  • Encourage regular water breaks for pupils in line with school policies.
  • Be mindful of signs of heat-related illness, such as dizziness, headaches, or nausea.
  • Plan activities that minimise unnecessary physical exertion during the hottest parts of the day.

Looking after your wellbeing helps you provide the best possible learning environment for the pupils you support.
