As temperatures across the UK are forecast to climb towards 38C next week, concerns are growing about how schools will cope with the extreme heat.
Teachers have warned that overheated classrooms can make it difficult for pupils to concentrate, while some children have reported feeling unwell during previous heatwaves.
Although schools are introducing measures such as relaxed uniform rules, extra water breaks and shaded outdoor areas, there are renewed calls for limits on classroom temperatures and even temporary closures when conditions become too severe.
Some unions have called on the government to set a limit on how hot schools can be before they are closed. In early June, education secretary Bridget Phillipson refused to rule out introducing such measures.
Now we want to know what you think. Should schools be allowed to close during extreme heatwaves to protect pupils and staff, or should they remain open with additional measures in place?
