Snow/Bad Weather and School closure

All efforts will be made to open the school on all normal school days even when we have snow and other adverse weather conditions. If the school is not going to open due to either weather or an unforeseen event, a decision will be made by 7:30am and information posted on the school and Local Authority websites.

Communication

In the event of the school not opening parents will be kept informed via:

1. The school website.
2. Emails will be sent out to parents. (Please ensure your mobile contact details are up to date.
3. The Hackney Education website.

In the event of weather deteriorating during the day leading to closure of the school:

1. Permission for pupils to go home will be sought from parents (Please ensure your contact details are up to date).
2. Emails will be sent out to parents. (Please ensure your mobile contact details are up to date.)
3. Information will be published on the school website.

If there is an enforced closure of the school and children are unable to gain permission to go home provision will be made to supervise those pupils until they can be collected at 3:30pm.

In the event of bad weather the telephones are likely to be very busy and it is strongly recommended that you access the school website which will be regularly updated.
