Emergency Closure Procedures

Emergency Closure Plans

As always, our aim is to keep the school open whatever the circumstances. However if there are severe weather conditions leading to significant safety problems with the roads; it may be necessary to close the school as less than half of our teaching staff are in a reasonable walking distance. Emergency closures could also apply if we had problems with the heating etc.

Should it ever be necessary to close the school; we will inform parents through the following channels

• A text  and email will be sent via Parentmail

• A message will be put on the front page of our website in the Noticeboard section http://www.heatherside-jun.hants.sch.uk/

• Information will be put on the Hampshire County Council Website http://www.hants.gov.uk/education/schoolclosures/

• We will contact Eagle Radio

• A follow up email will be sent with any updates
