Emergency Closure of Schools
The decision to close schools during inclement weather is taken in consultation with the Chair of Governors. In the event of extreme weather conditions, however, such as heavy snowfall across the whole of the City, the LA may take a central decision to close all schools. Any such decision affecting all schools will be made by 6.45 am at the latest. The decision will then be announced through Heart FM, Radio WM and BRMB. If the LA makes a central decision to close schools, teaching and support staff are not required to attend.
Please check with the web-site for up to date information. Wherever possible, we will use the Call Parents system to inform parents of any emergency closures.
