Severe Weather
Now that we are starting to see signs of wintry weather, may I remind you of arrangements in case of extreme weather or closure of the school for any other reason.
Should we experience icy or snowy conditions, every effort will be made to clear or de-ice the main entrances and footpaths into the buildings. We will endeavour to mark out a safe footpath using cones/markers. However, the main playground areas will remain slippery and will be out of bounds so please keep off those areas.
In the event of severe weather, every effort will be made to keep the school open, even if only limited numbers can attend. Once in school, pupils will be kept for the whole school day, unless conditions deteriorate. [Please ensure your contact details are kept up to date as we will, in addition to the usual channels of communication, aim to send a text message to inform you of a closure during the school day.] We will endeavour to keep the school telephone manned if possible and, again if possible, will record up to date information for parents on our answerphone (01823 274770).
Up to date information on school closures will be available on the following radio stations:
| Radio Bristol and Somerset Sound: BBC Somerset |
95.5 FM |
| 1548 MW | |
| 1566 MHz | |
| Heart FM: Heart Somerset |
102.6 FM |
| 97.1 FM (Yeovil area) | |
| 96.5 FM (Taunton area) |
In exceptional circumstances it may be decided by the County Emergency Planning Manager to close all schools in the County. This would apply to both pupils and staff. Should this occur, information will be broadcast on radio and television.
