We request that children are not sent early to school. No one should arrive before8.45 am and the closer to 9.00 am the better as there is no supervision for pupils in the playground before 9.00 am and they cannot expect to be admitted to the building. Sensible wet weather clothes including wellington boots are again recommended.
It is vital that all children have and know their ‘Emergency Home’. If parents are at work or otherwise away from home in times of bad weather or if a child becomes unwell while at school, it is reassuring for everyone to know exactly what arrangements will be made.

Should heavy snow or heating failure force us to send children home early this will be our procedure:
School bus/taxi pupils will be dealt with first. Parents will be contacted by phone wherever possible, to allow them to have a responsible adult to meet children off the bus/taxi.Children will never be left alone anywhere but handed over personally by the taxi driver to an adult. In the event of there being no adult at home the child will return to school where alternative arrangements can be made eg taking the child to their emergency home.
Children who live outwith the town and are brought to school by private car will be dealt with next. Again homes will be phoned and the parents asked to come andcollect the children.
Children who live within the town will be gathered into groups from the same street and sent home in these groups. One responsible adult contact in each street who is on the phone and usually free to help will be asked to come and help the group home.
Do not hesitate to phone the school or come and collect your child if you are at all worried about deteriorating weather conditions and wish your child home.

Every effort will be made to open the school, provided the safety and welfare of pupils and staff are not at risk. If you consider the conditions are hazardous, pleasekeep children at home.
