In extreme or severe weather conditions a decision about whether the college will be closed will be made as soon as possible. Many factors need to be considered in determining if we can operate the college safely. Information relating to any school closure will in the first instance be posted prominently on the school website. Local radio stations and the local authority will also be informed.
School closure during the day
In addition to the above, parents will be contacted via Parentmail & Parentmail text as soon as a decision has been made. We will ensure that any pupil who cannot get home safely will be supervised at school until parents have been able to make suitable arrangements. If there is a problem for your child then please contact the school as soon as possible.
External GCSE examinations
Please note that in the event of adverse weather examination boards will make no changes to the schedule of public exams for year 11 students. Should adverse weather affect the normal running of the College we will make every effort to run public exams, provided this can be done safely. Should a student’s normal means of transport to school be affected please make every effort to arrange a safe alternative. Please monitor the website for further information.
We hope of course, that we do not need to operate these procedures.
