Emergencies and School Closure

It is very important that we have your most up to date telephone number and the telephone number of someone we could also contact if we need to contact you about your child during the school day.

EMERGENCY SCHOOL CLOSURE

Sometimes it is necessary for school to close because of bad weather or other emergencies.

The Headteacher works hard to keep school open wherever possible, but if circumstances mean that we have to make a decision to close the school or send children home early, there are various ways of contacting parents.

How we tell you if a school is closed?

Leeds City Council and local radio stations play an important part in communications between school and parents. Once the Headteacher has made the decision to close school, we will inform the local authority and radio stations and ask them to broadcast a message to parents.

The Leeds City Council website: https://www.leeds.gov.uk/schools-and-education/school-closures

The local radio stations used are:

RADIO AIRE – 96.3 FM

BBC RADIO LEEDS – 92.4 FM

We use Teachers2Parents to text all parents messages. Please note that you cannot reply to these texts. It’s really important we have your number otherwise you won’t get very important information and updates.
