Emergency Closure

In the Event of Disruption to Transport

If the roads are snowy and it is likely that our provider kitchen may be closed, pupils who have hot school meals are asked to come to school with a packed lunch .

In the Event of School Closure

Should it be necessary to close the school, for example in extremely bad weather conditions, parents/carers will be advised as follows:

Closure before the start of the school day – a message will be posted on the front page of the school website, school social media and an email sent as soon as possible via Arbor. Messages will be updated as the situation changes.

If the school has to close during the school day – again a message will be posted on the website, school social media and every effort will be made to text/phone parents if we are able to use the phone line.

In both instances Somerset Council and local radio stations will also be advised who, in turn, include this information on their websites/broadcast the information. Somerset School Closure website can be found here School closures

It is the policy that the school will remain open if at all possible. However, occasionally conditions are too bad for staff to travel safety into school necessitating a closure.  These occasions are very rare.
