School Closed Today Wednesday 23rd January

Dear parents, in order to ensure the safety of all pupils and staff, the school will be closed today Wednesday  23rd January.

Today's decision to close has been more difficult than Friday's. However when deciding to open or close a school there are many factors to consider.

• The safety of pupils, parents and staff when using the school paths, car park and yards,
• The surrounding side roads,
• Whether a significant number of staff can get to school on time in order to open.

After clearing much of the yard yesterday, a further one to two and a half inches has fallen overnight. When considering the above, speaking to the chair of governors, the caretaker and staff  we  have no option but to close the school today.

Many thanks for your continued co-operation and understanding,

Miss S Harwood
