Snow Closure... Here’s What Families Need to Know
Why Might the School Close?
- Safety First: If roads are dangerous, it may not be safe for staff or students to travel
- Heating and Utilities: Severe weather can cause power or heating issues, making classrooms unsuitable.
- Staffing Levels: If many staff can’t get in, we may not have enough adults to supervise students safely.
- Site Safety: Snow and ice can make playgrounds, paths, and car parks hazardous.
How We’ll Let You Know
- Website: Check the school homepage for the latest updates.
- Email & Text: We’ll send messages to all registered priority 1+2 contacts.
- Social Media: Follow our official channels for quick updates.
What You Should Do
- Check Before You Travel: Always confirm closure info before leaving home.
- Keep Phone Lines Free: Please avoid calling the school unless it’s an emergency.
- Plan Ahead: If school is closed, make arrangements for your child’s care.
- Stay Safe: If the weather is severe, avoid unnecessary travel.
Partial Closures
