Bad Weather Arrangements

This is the time of the year when severe weather may cause problems for teachers and pupils trying to get into school.

If we do get any really severe snowstorms, please listen to the local radio (BBC Essex, Heart FM and Southend Radio) for the up to date news from the school.

School closures will be posted on our website by 7.00 am.

It would be really helpful if you did not telephone the school directly - the lines just get jammed and teachers trying to contact the school cannot get through.

Thank you for your support in this matter.

Merry Christmas

Mrs C P Skewes

Headteacher
