Scores of schools across England and Wales announced they would close or finish early this week to protect pupils amid the extreme heat.<\/p>\n

The Buckingham School in Buckinghamshire said it will be closed on Wednesday and Thursday, and asked students to take part in online learning.<\/p>\n

In a statement on its website on Monday, the school said: \u201cBecause most of our buildings cannot be cooled adequately and there is little shade outside, we have taken the difficult decision to close the school site on both days (Wednesday and Thursday). All trips and other scheduled activities are also cancelled.\u201d<\/p>\n

The school, which has around 1,200 students until sixth form, said teachers will upload work online for pupils to complete.<\/p>\n

St John\u2019s Marlborough in Wiltshire said it will close early on Tuesday and be shut all day on Wednesday and Thursday before re-opening on Friday. The Dorcan Academy in Swindon, Wiltshire, said on-site learning will finish at 11.30am on Tuesday and the school will remain closed on Wednesday and Thursday.<\/p>\n

Other schools in Sutton in south London and Haringey in north London have also been forced to close from Tuesday to Thursday.<\/p>\n
