If for example, there is a heavy fall of snow during the night, the following arrangements will apply:

• In the unlikely event of a school closure, an announcement will be made via MCAS by 7.30am on the day.
• If the school remains open but you decide, based on local road and weather conditions, not to send your son/daughter into school, you must telephone the school and leave a message on the student absence line as you would for any absence.

Severe or deteriorating weather conditions during the day

For example after children have arrived at school, the following arrangements will apply:

• With our pupil safety in mind we shall keep a constant check on road condition reports and weather forecasts. If conditions worsen during the day it would normally be our policy to contact parents and ask that children are collected early from school to ensure safe travel home for all members of the school community.
