To be honest, school in the UK never closes because of heat, as it is never hot enough. Even if it did get seriously hot as it sometimes does in Summer, the schools have air conditioners, and unlike boilers in the Winter, they rarely break, so they see no reason to send us home.
Yes, it can be too hot for school, for example, mmost schools close down on the days that there are extreme heat waves
To be honest, it never really gets that hot for the schools in the UK to close. Even if it did get really hot, I doubt they would send us home as they have air conditioners and wouldn't send us home because of heat.
In most areas, there are no guidelines for closing schools for hot weather and closing for that cause is unusual. Closing schools for hot weather would be determined by school administrators, who would likely only close schools if the heat caused a real health danger to students.
Well it depends. Usually if its an inside school they don't close school days regardless of heat, But if its an outside school and it was 108 degrees then they would question whether or not to skip that day of school
Very hot

There is no set temperature for a school to close in the UK, indeed there is no fixed policy across individual councils and counties. Instead schools have a statutory duty to consider the health and safety of their pupils and parents not only whilst they are at school but also during the journey to school. It is therefore the headteachers decision on a case by case scenario as to whether the school opens or not. This can create scenarios where some schools open and some do not- even if they are very close to each other. BBC radio Sheffield recently reported the case of Carter Knowle Primary school in Sheffield where the head teacher had always promised to keep the doors open regardless and had members of the local community and governing body volunteering to help clear the snow; wheras Ecclesall school, which is less than a mile away, closed for several days.
