IN THE EVENT OF SCHOOL CLOSURE
If our school cannot guarantee a safe and warm environment and has to close to some or all year groups, we tell radio stations first thing in the morning. It offers the quickest and most effective way to communicate with the largest number of people. We advise parents and carers to listen to local radio stations for the most up-to-date information whenever snow or ice is affecting local roads. This is more reliable than calling us directly, as we may find it difficult to respond to large numbers of calls from parents, even if we are open. Alternatively, check this home page which is updated daily during adverse weather.
