Alvie Primary School Closure – Adverse Travel Conditions

Thursday 8th January.

Please be aware the school will remain closed on Thursday 8th January 2026.

Good morning Alvie families, due to the continued snowfall and freezing conditions overnight, local roads are continuing to cause dangerous conditions and disruptions to travel.

Roads&pavements are extremely icy, making travel unsafe forpupils&staff.

We rely on our lunches being prepared and delivered from Aviemore Primary and the conditions do not look to be improving.

We were hoping to open and start our new term with everyone safely in school but for the safety of our staff and families, have made the decision to remain closed today at Alvie Primary.

We appreciate your continued patience and support and hope to have safer conditions to open tomorrow (Friday 9th January)

Take care,

Please continue to see adverse weather advice and school closures on the Highland Council website and listen to local radio for updates.
