An Essex school has announced it will be closed tomorrow due to the hot weather.
Shenfield High School in Brentwood is one of a handful of schools across the county which will shut.
The entire school will be closed and pupils will undergo remote learning due to the red weather warning causing concern for health and safety.
A “heat-dome” settling over western Europe could bring temperatures of nearly 39C to Essex by Wednesday, with this latest heatwave expected to surpass the record for June of 35.6C set in Hampshire in 1976.
The Met Office has issued an amber weather warning for extreme heat across the county, and even a rare red warning across parts of south and west Essex.
A number of other schools have already announced closure such as St Benedicts in Colchester, Honywood School, Coggeshall and Woodlands School, Basildon.
