Severe Weather

School closure in the event of severe weather

There can be occasions when severe weather can cause disruption to travel, most commonly occurring to snowfall.
Our policy, in these circumstances, is as follows:

Always assume the school is open. If a decision to close (due to severe weather) is made, the following will apply:

We will update our website as soon as a decision is made
A text message will be sent to parents/carers (priority 1 contact only)
Local radio stations will be notified
We will always try to keep the school open

To ensure that our telephone system does not become clogged with traffic, could we please ask that:

You visit the school website as this can be updated very quickly and will display the most up to date news
Ensure that we have your current mobile number so that a text message can be sent to you

The Arthur Terry Learning Partnership is committed to keeping our students safe, both in school and the wider community. As part of our safeguarding arrangements, we have a two-way information sharing agreement in place with the local police authority. The agreement is compliant with Crime & Disorder Act 1998 (s.115) and Data Protection Act 1998(s.29.3; s.35.2.), and focuses on preventing young people from becoming involved or further involved in crime and anti-social behaviour as a victim or offender.
