Bad Weather Arrangements

In the event of very severe weather, we will aim to keep school open as usual.  We may however, be forced to alter the daily timetable of each class during the day.  If, however, in the unlikely event that we are forced to close the school, we will follow the procedure outlined below:- 

We will make a decision before 7.30am on the day of closure. A closure will be communicated in the following ways: A text will be sent out via SchoolComms We will also announce it on Twitter Flintshire County Council website —www.flintshire.gov.uk.  There is a ‘closure box’ on the homepage that you can click in for information.  This will be updated daily.  We will place notices on the pavement outside school.

If any children do arrive at school without parents, they will NOT be sent home, parents will have to collect them. 

Please do not try to telephone school, we only have one line and it is highly unlikely that you will get through.  

Closing the school is a very difficult decision to make and not done lightly.  When making the decision our primary focus is the safety of the children.  This not only includes getting to and from school, but also appropriate levels of supervision when in school.  While it may be easy for children to get into school, many of our staff live 35+ minutes’ drive away and may not be able to get to school.  We will, however liaise with other local schools when making the decision and do our best to stay open.
