Severe Weather Protocol

We will only close under exceptional circumstances but may follow an alternative day as detailed below:

• Staff will attend school as normal, and where this is not possible, they must arrive before 9:15am, weather permitting.
• School will follow the revised school day, as detailed below:

• Students should leave for school having consumed a substantial breakfast.
• The early finish allows for students to travel home slowly and safely, and in full light; this also provides an opportunity for the Site Team to make the school ready for the next day (potentially, before things ice/frost over etc.)
• Where appropriate, staff will be allowed to leave at 2.30pm to ensure they travel home safely in daylight.
• Students will be able to purchase food during break, those who are entitled to a free meal will be able to access their allowance at this time.
• Parents and Staff will receive a message on Edulink if the school will be following an alternative day and an announcement will be posted on the school’s website. If you do not receive a message, then it will be a normal day.
