Emergency School closure

As many schools were `caught out` in the snow conditions of November 2005 it seems timely to remind parents of our emergency procedures in the event of bad weather or any other emergency when it is necessary to close the school. When a decision is made to close the school the Local Authority are informed and the local radio stations will be asked to publicise the closure. If the school is in session and the school needs to close we will contact all parents to request the collection of their children if it is safe to do so. School staff will remain at school to ensure the safety of all the children until a safe collection can be made. Building on our experiences of the last snowstorm we know that some parents working away from the area had difficulty reaching us so please be assured that ALL children will be well looked after until they can return home.
