BAD WEATHER PROCEDURE

In the event of extreme weather conditions the following procedure will take place.

We will endeavour to keep school open, but if the weather deteriorates and

conditions become worse we may have to close in the interests of everyone’s health

and safety.

School closure is not taken lightly and done after discussions with other local schools

and governors.

If school is closed then our procedure for informing parents remains the same. A text

message will be sent as soon as possible and I would ask that everyone takes care

when coming to and leaving school. If necessary some pathways, entrances and

exits will be closed. We will direct you to the safest pathway.

Please ensure your child has the correct clothing for school during the bad

weather; i.e: Hat, scarf, gloves, coat and also a change of shoes if wearing

Wellington boots.

Thank you for your understanding and patience in this matter.
