If there has been severe weather overnight, please refer to the school website and check your emails.
If, following a thorough risk assessment and consultation between School Leaders and Governors a decision is made to close the school, an email will be sent to parents before 7.30am. If the situation suddenly changes, a later email can not be avoided. Home learning will be provided on the class pages of the school website (click you child's class number at the bottom of the home page) by 9.30am.
Please ensure that your child is sent to school suitably dressed and is wearing sensible footwear.
If there is severe weather during the day, it may be necessary for the children to leave school early. Should this be the case, please keep your mobile phone at hand as an email will be sent to inform you.
It is extremely important that we have an up to date mobile phone number and email address for you.
Please do not telephone the school to ask if school is open.
SEVERE WEATHER PROCEDURES
In the event of weather so severe as to necessitate an early closure, the following plan will go into action to ensure that students and staff reach home safely.
1. The Headteacher of Whitefield Infant School and Nursery email all parents to relay information that pupils are being sent home.
3. The school will remain open as long as necessary to care for any students until they are collected.
