School Closed Friday 19th January 2024
Dear Parents/Guardians,
The weather forecast for tomorrow has a yellow weather warning and icy roads and footpaths are expected and due to the ongoing industrial action, gritting will not be taking place as rigorously as it usually would.
I have completed a risk assessment in consultation with the BOG and considering the various health and safety factors, particularly the safety of travel to school with the absence of gritting and the predicted frost in the weather forecast it has been decided that it would not be safe for pupils, parents or staff to open in the morning. The safety and well-being of all pupils and staff is paramount.
School will reopen for pupils as usual on Monday 22nd January 2024
