SEVERE WEATHER CONDITIONS
Unless specifically advised, schools will remain open during periods of severe weather. It is
vital that parents/carers ensure that schools have the means to contact them should this
position change. Decisions to close will be made as early as possible.

winter term. This may be added to their websites, shared through email or text messages
and/or distributed via school bag mail drop.
