SCHOOL CLOSED TOMORROW – Fri 25th Jan<\/strong><\/p>\n

Glasgow City Council has taken the decision to close all schools and nurseries.<\/p>\n

“Due to <\/span>#Storm\u00c9owyn<\/a><\/span> all our Schools and Council Nurseries will be closed tomorrow (Friday 24 January 2025).”<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Please see email from Education Director, Douglas Hutchison that was issued to schools this afternoon.\u00a0 (We will not be providing home learning as it is too short notice to collate this information to all pupils and families.)<\/p>\n

Colleagues<\/em><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
A decision has been taken to close all schools and nurseries to both staff and children and young people due to the severe weather conditions forecast \u00a0tomorrow.<\/em><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The Met Office has upgraded tomorrow\u2019s storm warning to RED with very strong winds associated with Storm \u00c9owyn causing very dangerous conditions and significant disruption.<\/em><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
We will issue messaging from the Council\u2019s social media channels and ask\u00a0 you to share this on your own social media or use your normal channels to alert families of the closure tomorrow.<\/em><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
We apologise for any inconvenience caused to our families but everyone\u2019s safety is paramount in these circumstances.\u00a0 A retrospective payment for those entitled to free school meals will be added to the next holiday payment due to families.<\/em><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Remote learning is a challenge at such short notice, however where possible and practical colleagues may offer work to pupils through the school\u2019s normal channels.<\/em><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Corporate staff messaging will be issued with details from HR and if this can be cascaded to non-pc facing staff that would be helpful.<\/em><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Thank you once again for your resilience, stay safe, and the expectation is for business as usual on Monday.<\/em><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Best wishes<\/em><\/div>\n
