Emergency Procedure for Adverse Weather Conditions/Closure in an Emergency

In the event that we experience extreme weather conditions it is important that all parents are aware of our emergency procedures.  Please see the above Winter Weather Plan.

If for any reason it should be necessary for us to close the school, parents will receive a text message to inform them.  We will also put information on the school website.

In the meantime, the following action should be taken by parents:

1.  Bring your child to school and do not leave until you have seen and spoken to a member of the teaching staff.

2.  If you go to work and normally send your child to school on their own, please arrange for your child to come to school with another parent who lives nearby. This way we can be sure that no child is unaccompanied and has to cope with either traffic or other hazards without adult protection.

3.  Make sure school has an emergency contact address - where your child can be taken to if we cannot contact you.

4. In the event of very severe conditions, notification of school closure will be put out on Radio Nottingham, Capital FM and GEM 106. Do not assume anything by rumour, notification of school closure will either be on the radio, on the school website, or by contacting you directly.

5.  In the event of the school having to close during the day due to unforeseen worsening weather or similar circumstances, we would text and inform you that you can pick your child up earlier.
