School Closures

There are 3 types of school closures:

• Emergency - where the building cannot open as there is no running water, the heating is not working or power failure.
• Planned - Where the school building is closed for elections, industrial action or when utility companies are doing planned maintenance work to gas, water or electric services in the area and all services are to be shut off.  Schools are notified in advance of these closures and Headteachers will notify Parents/Carers of these closures.
• Severe Weather - Headteachers will make the decision locally to close where severe weather prevents the school from opening.
