Severe Weather Policy
On rare occasions, the weather can be so severe that getting to and from school becomes hazardous. Schools like ours, where many pupils travel on buses, are particularly vulnerable. This is especially true if the weather worsens in the afternoon.
Really bad weather is disruptive and can cause anxiety and stress. Many parents ring the school if snow starts falling heavily during the day. It can be frustrating trying to get through when all our outside lines are engaged by other parents calling for the same reason. Jammed lines and answering queries can in turn delay office staff who are trying to get through to the bus companies to arrange early collection of pupils. We will do everything that we can to ensure the safety of all children and adults.
