ADVERSE WEATHER PROCEDURES

During the winter there may be times where the weather affects the viability for school to open. Below you will find the procedures that we follow to communicate the school's position if we experience severe weather.

• We will send an email message to all parent via Arbor.
• A message will be placed on the school phone to advise of any closures.
• A message will appear on the school website advising of any closure.  
• If the school is closed Hampshire will be alerted so the school can be listed as closed on Hampshire’s website www.hants.gov.uk/education/schoolclosures/
• Local radio stations will be alerted to a school closure, but cannot be relied upon.

If the weather conditions appear to deteriorate during the day when the children are in school, we will monitor the situation and advise parents as soon as possible if the children require collection. Remember your own safety and be assured that all children will remain with a member of staff until you arrive.  If you cannot pick up your child we must have your permission before we will allow your child to leave with another parent.  If your child travels by bus, please ring the school to ascertain whether it is running.
