UNEXPECTED SCHOOL CLOSURES

In the event of the school closing at short notice for any reason, for example heavy snowfall, parents will be informed by Parentmail as well as a notice on the front page of the website. It is also advised to listen to local radio stations who will be informed and will broadcast the news.

School closure information can be viewed on the Hampshire County Council website. If parents do not hear any news, it should be assumed that the school will be open as usual.
