The decision to close will be made by the Headteacher considering the following:
- Health and safety – will remaining open constitute a significant risk to pupils and/or
- Availability of staff – has the severe weather meant that a significant number of staff have been unable to attend making it impossible to remain open
Our first priority will always be to ensure the health, safety and wellbeing of pupils, staff, parents and families. We will clear paths within school to make access as safe as possible, and will keep supplies of grit to support this where possible
Once the decision to close school has been taken, parents and staff will be informed via Class Dojo or email or phone. A message will also be posted on the School website
In addition, the Headteacher / School Administrator will contact the Local Education Authority and local Radio Stations at the earliest opportunity, giving the required information so that the closure of our school can be broadcast. Where possible, a member of staff will be in school to advise parents and families on arrival that the school is closed and to answer telephone calls from concerned parents
