Winter Weather Procedures

Winter Weather Procedures

With the colder weather officially here it is important that children have extra layers to wear outside at play and lunchtimes. We do take the children outside in all weathers so thick coats, gloves and hats are essential. Children in KS2 should also bring a winter PE kit with a sweatshirt and jogging bottoms.

In severe weather conditions, the decision may be made to close the school to ensure the safety of both the children and staff travelling to school. If the decision is made to close school prior to the start of the school day, parents will be informed via text message as soon as possible.

We will also put alerts out via BBC Radio York and on the school Facebook page. If school ever has to be closed, or partially closed, during the school day parents will be contacted via text message and then by phone if children are not collected.

It is vitally important that the school office has an up to date text number and also at least two phone numbers on which we can contact either yourself or another responsible adult you have nominated, in the event of an emergency.
