During any winter period, there is always a possibility that severe weather will necessitate the closure of the school.

It is the policy of the school to make every effort to remain open whenever possible, as long as it is safe to do so.

The school will only be closed if one or more of the following conditions apply:

• A sufficient number of staff are unable to come in to keep the school running safely.
• Conditions onsite are dangerous.
• Conditions are considered to be, or are anticipated later to become, too hazardous for travel.

The decision to close the school either before or during the school day will be made by the headteacher. They will endeavour to make any decisions on the closure of the school by 7.45am.
