SIX schools in Hampshire have announced that they will be closed this week. 

Four of the schools have said they will be closing on Monday and Tuesday due to the high temperatures forecasted. 

Another said it would be closed on Tuesday due to the weather. 

The other will close on Monday and possibly Tuesday because a collapsed sewer has left it without toilets. 

The schools are: 

The Costello School, Crossborough Hill, Basingstoke

It said: "Following the extreme weather warning, we have taken the difficult decision to close the school. Work will be on MSTeams." 

The Petersfield School, Cranford Road, Petersfield

It said: "Due to the extreme weather forecast, The Petersfield School will be closed to all students on Monday 18 and Tuesday 19 July 2022."

Bohunt School, Longmoor Road, Liphook

It said: "Following the extreme weather warning, we have taken the difficult decision to close the school (on Tuesday, July 19). Work will be set on Google Classroom." 

Swanmore College, New Road, Swanmore

It said: "At 4.30pm on 14 July 2022, we became aware of an bad odour on site and investigated our drains – it was clear there was a problem. We called our drains company, who responded immediately.

"They spent yesterday evening trying to unblock the problem, however, they were unable to do so and in their professional opinion, we have a collapse in the main line sewer.

"Therefore, we are unable to offer any toilet facilities on site and must close the school on Monday. We anticipate this continuing through to Tuesday at least. We will update you again on Monday. Parents/carers and staff have been informed.

"Work will be put on Google Classroom for pupils to access."
