Dear Parents and Carers,

 

In the event of severe weather, such as snow or ice, we would like to outline the arrangements for any potential school closure.

 

A decision about whether the school can safely open will be made by 7:00am on the day. This decision will take into account site safety, including access routes and the condition of paths and outdoor areas affected by snow or ice. Please be assured that we will make every effort to remain open whenever it is safe to do so.

 

If a closure is necessary, or if we need to make any changes to our usual arrangements, we will inform you as early as possible via email and a post on the school’s Facebook page.  If you do not receive any communication, please assume the school is open as normal.

 

In some circumstances, the school may be able to open with alternative access arrangements in place. This could include restricting use of certain areas of the site or reducing footfall where conditions are unsafe. Should this be required, full details will be shared with you in our communications.

 

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation during periods of bad weather. The safety of our pupils, families and staff is always our priority.

 

Kind regards,

Miss Bolton
