Inclement weather and school closures - 01 January 2010

As parents will know, this term usually brings snow and  poor conditions, so as always in the event of snow and inclement weather, please listen to local radio station bulletins - BRMB, Radio WM, Beacon Radio  and Heart FM, where if we are closed an announcement will be made.

Closing the school is the last resort and this difficult decision is made in consultation with our Chair of Governors and the Local Authority.

Also check the school web site as we will put information on the home page in the latest news box!

Thanks to all parents in advance for your co operation in this matter.
