Bad Weather Arrangements

Every attempt will be made to keep the school open in bad weather. If there is a potential health and safety risk in travel for children, parents or staff; the decision will be made to close the school

If school is unable to open in the morning due to bad weather, we will attempt to inform parents by 7.30am by the following methods:

· Put a notice on our website
· Send text message to parents who have elected for text messages
· Send an email to parents who have elected to receive emails

If the School is open but pupils are struggling to get in due to bad weather then parents must contact school to let staff know – irrespective of the messages they may have heard from other parents.

In the unlikely event that the school is unable to remain open during normal school hours, then those children who cannot be collected for some time will be taken to Out of School Club. Parents are asked to complete a continuous consent form to allow their child(ren) to be taken to Out of School Club in the event of bad weather.

During bad weather parents should also ensure that school is open before leaving their children at Out of School Club.
