School Closure Procedure – Severe Weather
In the event of a severe weather warning being issued the decision to close school will only be taken in exceptional circumstances.
We will ensure that parents are informed via social media and text message, as far as possible, of the decision to close school before 8.00am, but this deadline may not apply in every circumstance.
Information will be published on our school website and local radio stations also informed of school closures and regularly updated where necessary.
If your child arrives at school after the decision to close has been made, we will ensure they have means to return home safely.
In the event that school does remain open and we find that conditions deteriorate through the school day presenting a risk of harm or injury we may have to decide to close school early. Parents will be contacted via text message or telephone, using the number provided on the emergency contacts list, and asked to collect their child from the school.
