School Closure due to Adverse Conditions

We will continue to do all that is possible to remain open and ensure the school site is safe.

If parent/carers are worried, they can phone the school, but please be advised, the school cannot know the snow conditions in every local area.

If individual taxi drivers refuse to collect children that is nothing whatsoever to do with school or the Local Authority transport department.

It then becomes a decision for parent/carers whether to bring children to and from school themselves if they wish. No one will make criticism for any decision you determine.

For some disabled pupils, our parent/carers have decided to use their own transport to bring children to and from school. This decision is open to parent/carers.

We continue to carefully watch the weather and road conditions.

If the roads become dangerous the police will send an alert to the public and that would include the Local Authority and school.

We will inform parents on the Prestley Wood Academy website, social media platforms and local radio stations.

If there is an emergency during the school day, we shall use the emergency contact numbers.

• To staff for taking more time to get to work safely and our caretakers for their hard work clearing the site each day for safety.
• Thank you to parent/carers for your words of appreciation for remaining open and acknowledgement of our effort to that.
