SCHOOL CLOSURE PROCEDURE

Procedure for School Closures in the Event of Adverse Weather

Our school will always endeavor to operate as normal during adverse weather and closures will only ever be made as a last resort and if there is a risk to the health and safety of our pupils.

In the event that the decision is made to close our school, every effort will be made to ensure that our parents/carers will be informed quickly and where possible in time to prevent you commencing your journeys to school.

If the decision is made to close, a text message will be sent out to all parents and carers (Please ensure your current mobile numbers are held by the school office to receive these updates), and a message will be displayed on our school website.

Updates will also be made via the Local Authority on the ‘Wolverhampton Today – School Closures’ Facebook page and the City of Wolverhampton Council’s Twitter feed. This is also the agreed method for informing any local radio stations of school closures. Information will also be posted on the City of Wolverhampton Council’s website via the link below:
