EMERGENCY CLOSURE
There may be circumstances when the school is required to close, such as extreme weather conditions. The tabs below will outline the processes in place.

Snow
If there is snowfall overnight it is possible that opening the school will be delayed until 9.50 a.m. to allow staff to get to school.
If sufficient staff are unable to get to school, if vehicle access to the school is not possible, or if the school site is unsafe, it may be necessary to close the school.
We will make the decision as early as we can. However, it will always be our intention to remain open whenever possible.
When it is unclear as to whether sufficient numbers of staff will be able to travel to school, at first the decision to delay opening until 9.50 a.m. will be taken. This information should be made public by 7.30 a.m.
A subsequent decision to open partially or to close, following an earlier decision to delay opening until 9.50 a.m., should be made public by 8.30 a.m.
Please note that the school will remain open unless you are specifically informed otherwise.
