Winter Weather Arrangements

We were hoping to get through the winter unscathed however the forecast for the next couple of days is for frequent and heavy hail and snow showers.

In such conditions the janitor is required to clear a path to the main entrance from the main gate, following this the priority is to clear a pathway from the main entrance round through the junior and infant playgrounds to the Nursery entrance.  Once this has been achieved the janitor will then attempt to clear other exits/entrances to the building.  However despite best attempts sometimes the salt/grit is rendered useless if there is also heavy rain or extremely low temperatures.

In the event that conditions in the yard are unsuitable then myself or the Depute Head Teacher will take the decision to dismiss the children via the front door.  At all times the safety of the children is paramount and all staff will be in attendance to dismiss the children one class at a time.  In these circumstances we ask that all parents and carers stand back from the door so that the children may locate the appropriate adult.

I would appreciate your patience and understanding should this be the case and ask that you continue to follow twitter and text messages for updates.

Thank you for your co-operation

Mrs Greechan
