Emergency Closure

It may be necessary, at times, to close the school. Where possible, for example planned interruptions to the power supply, parents will be notified in writing in advance. However, there are occasions when, as a result of exceptionally bad weather or electricity/heating failure, the school has to close at short notice.  In such circumstances, the school staff will make every effort to contact the parents.  It is helpful, if parents who are not regularly at home during school hours, make arrangements to have someone available to receive their children in such an emergency.  Emergency contact numbers are updated at the beginning of each session.

Parents who wish additional information about emergency transport arrangements should contact:
