At least 1,000 schools will be either closed or partially closed over Wednesday and Thursday as a rare red heat warning is in force for England and Wales.
Forecasters said temperatures could hit 40C in some regions, with red and amber warnings for extreme heat. Hundreds of schools have made decisions to either close completely, send children home early or make other adjustments such as relaxing uniform rules.
