School Closure Procedures
Procedures for School Closure
Very occasionally, we might be forced to close the school for one of the following reasons:
- Extreme weather conditions resulting in a significant number of staff unable to travel safely to school.
- The school building and/or surrounding areas are inaccessible.
- The school’s heating, electricity and/or water has failed.
In such circumstances, parents will be informed as soon as possible by text message. This information will also be shared via the following platforms:
- School website
- School Facebook page
- BCP Council
- Heart Radio
