Adverse Weather

If there is severe weather overnight

If the school has to be closed, a text message will be sent out to all parents as soon as the decision has been made. 

Closure will also be communicated by our website and through our official social media pages

If any students arrives at school unaware of the closure a member of staff will be there to help. Pupils may phone parents to decide whether they should return home or wait to be collected.



If the weather deteriorates during the day

A text message will be sent out to all parents as soon as the decision has been made, the closure will also be communicated by our website and social media pages. 

Please assume school is open if you have not received a text or the school website/ social media does not announce otherwise.

Plan ahead with your child what to do in a bad weather emergency.

Please only call the school in bad weather if you really have to – calls in prevent calls out!

Students who are not able to make their own way home or are unable to return home will be kept in school until contact with home has been made and a plan is in place.
