Severe Weather

We will endeavour to keep our school open and operating as normal. However in the event of severe adverse weather it may be necessary to make a decision to close the school for the safety of the children and staff

The decision to close will be made by the Headteacher considering the following:

• Health and safety – will remaining open constitute a significant risk to pupils and/or
• Availability of staff – has the severe weather meant that a significant number of staff have been unable to attend making it impossible to remain open

Please note – AMBER warnings issued from the MET Office MAY trigger a school closure

Our first priority will always be to ensure the health, safety and wellbeing of pupils, staff, parents and families. We will clear paths within school to make access as safe as possible, and will keep supplies of grit to support this where possible

 

School Closure Procedure:

Once the decision to close school has been taken, parents and staff will be informed via email or phone. A message will also be posted on the School website

In addition, the Headteacher / School Administrator will contact the Local Education Authority and local Radio Stations at the earliest opportunity, giving the required information so that the closure of our school can be broadcast. Where possible, a member of staff will be in school to advise parents and families on arrival that the school is closed and to answer telephone calls from concerned parents
