Given that our students come from across a large rural area, we work hard to ensure that families are advised early about any changes to school opening because of adverse weather conditions. We will do our best to monitor the weather and any changes to bus routes and closures in Derbyshire.

 

Closing school before it opens

Only in the event of school closure we will aim to inform parents and carers by 7am. We will:

• Add a message to the front page and in the news section of the school website - with a priority news alert across the top of the website.
• Send emails to parents and carers on our normal email list.
• Add a message to Facebook and Instagram.
• Include information on the Derbyshire County Council website.

 

Closing school when it is open but weather worsens

We will look at the weather and transport information and, if we decide to close the school, we will:

• Add a message to the front page and in the news section of the school website - with a priority news alert across the top of the website.
• Send emails to parents and carers on our normal email list.
• Add a message to Facebook and Instagram.
• Include information on the Derbyshire County Council website.

Before the next day we will send another update to parents and carers about arrangements for the following day using the communication methods listed above.
