In the event of bad weather we have set out a basic procedure, which should help to minimise confusion.
WE WILL POST OUR SCHOOL CLOSURE ON THE HOME PAGE OF OUR WEBSITE AS SOON AS A DECISION HAS BEEN MADE. SHOULD THE DECISION TO CLOSE THE SCHOOL BE MADE, WE ALSO AIM TO SEND A TEXT / EMAIL OUT TO PARENTS.
We also advise parents/carers to register for alerts at Kent School Closures for updates, and to listen to Heart FM (96.1) .
If the weather deteriorates during school time, we will contact parents and advise them, where possible, to collect children. No child will be sent home before the end of school without parent's consent. Likewise, parents and carers, should contact the school for information, or to advise us if they are experiencing difficulty in collecting their children.
Please ensure that your emergency person is aware of the school procedure and that you have made arrangements for children to stay with that person in the event of there being problems. This particularly applies to children using public transport. We will not allow children onto the bus until we have established that there is someone to receive them at the other end.
