Please assume that school will be open until you are told otherwise by text message
Do not phone school
Consider if your own journey is safe - if it is not, do not travel
School is open but my own journey is unsafe
It is imperative that parents make their own judgement about whether or not is is safe to travel. Each journey will be different and the judgement rests with you as parents.
Take more time. I have discretion to leave the registers open for longer on 'snow' days and your child will not be marked late if the journey has been delayed.
If you feel that is unsafe to travel then you should inform school by text message stating the name of your child and the fact that they will be absent. TEXT 07786201170
School might close early
If we are open, there is still a chance that we may close early. This is intended to help parents, not create extra disruption.
You will be allowed to collect your children at any time between 1.30pm and 3.15pm. This is intended to give parents some flexibility in the afternoons. YOU WILL BE INFORMED BY TEXT IF THIS IS TO HAPPEN.
After School Club
In the event of an early closure or deteriorating weather conditions I need to consider how staff will be able to get home. In such circumstances we will have to close the After School Club. Again parents will be informed at the earliest possible opportunity.
SNOW PROCEDURES
Please can parents make sure:
