School Snow Closure

28th February 2018Mrs S Curtis

We always try to avoid closing the school due to adverse weather conditions, however, if we do decide that the school should close the following actions will be taken:-

  • An announcement on our website
  • A notification from the Arbor App will be sent to parents (providing you have the app on your phone). Follow this link for more details – Arbor App
  • Details of the school closure will be posted on our social media sites (follow the links on our home page to Facebook, X – formally Twitter and Instagram)

Please ensure that we do have correct contact details so that any messages we send regarding school closures reaches you to avoid any inconvenience.

The decision to close the school will be made by the Headteacher on Health and Safety grounds normally in consultation with Premises staff.
