School Closure – Adverse Weather Conditions
In the event that we need to close the school due to bad weather, we will do the following:
- Aim to make a final decision by 7am
- Communicate the decision by Primary Contact - (This relies on the school having up-to-date mobile telephone numbers and e-mail addresses)
- Communicate the decision on our school website and Facebook page
- Communicate the decision to Rother FM & BBC Radio Sheffield who will read out the list of schools affected by school closures at regular intervals
In deciding whether it is feasible to open the school, the following factors are amongst those considered:
- Safety of travel to and from school for pupils and staff
- Safety of travel from school in the event of significant snowfall during a period when the school is open and pupils and staff are already on site
- Safety in school once pupils and staff are here. This includes having sufficient staffing to give safe pupil:staff ratios and ensuring the school has safe routes around the site to minimise the danger of slipping and injury
