The decision to close the school is taken by the Headteacher; following a risk assessment that is based on a number of factors.  This decision has to be taken without knowing how the weather will progress during the day.  Issues considered include whether there is catering available and also if bus services are running.

If at all possible, the school will remain open.

If it is necessary, in the interests of pupil welfare, to close a school because of extreme weather conditions, you would be notified as follows:
