When there are severe weather conditions it can cause difficulties for pupils and staff travelling to school safely. Our risk assessment of safety for everyone to get to school by 9am is assessed and at that point communication is sent to parents if we cannot open the school on time. Our preference is always to have a delayed opening rather than to shut the school. This information will firstly be updated on Aberdeen City Council website, (Aberdeen City School Closures) and after that a Groupcall will be sent to parents. I hope this information helps you to understand the process.

If you are dropping your child at school please take into account the weather conditions as you may get a message to say that the school will be having a late opening or closed for the day.
