School Closure - Tuesday 7 January

Having assessed the icy conditions at school, on the surrounding pavements and side roads, we have taken the difficult decision to close the school today to ensure everyone’s safety.

We will watch the weather forecast carefully and update you as soon as we are able to regarding plans for tomorrow, although we do anticipate being open as normal.

The BTEC Performing Arts examination will take place today and students will receive an email for a delayed start.  The Functiional Skills exams have been cancelled and will take place in February.

Lessons will be placed in Showbie today from period 2. This may include some live instruction so students should look out for Teams invites.

As ever, it is incredibly difficult to make the right decision when the weather is just so unpredictable and variable across our catchment area. The safety of our children and staff is always our first priority and although we are sorry for the inconvenience of the school being closed today, we hope you will understand why the decision was made.

Thank you for your patience and understanding.
