Cold Winter Days – Possible School Closures (Updated January 2026)
Firstly, it is worth noting that we as a school will always do our very best to keep the school open. We understand the disruption it causes to the local community and businesses when schools close. Of course each school site is different in terms of access and some staff have to travel long distances which can contribute to school closure.
Unless you hear otherwise please assume school is open. However, there may be a time when a decision is made to close school. Communications about school closure will be in the form of information posted on the school website and a text message sent to the mobile phone numbers we have on our system. I will also inform the Nottingham Local radio – BBC Radio Nottingham can be found on 103.8, 95.5FM, 1584AM, DAB and live on the BBC iPlayer.
We use the Met Office weather forecast to guide us. Usually, if there is an amber alert, a decision will be made no later than 8.00 a.m. on the morning if school is going to be closed. As mentioned above, assume school is open unless you hear otherwise. Please do not phone school.
If you are interested in joining a ‘Snow Busting Team’ please let us know via email and we will add your name to the list of parent volunteers who are willing to turn up at school with a shovel to help clear the paths around school.
