Severe Weather and School Closures

The safety and wellbeing of our pupils and staff is always our highest priority. During periods of severe weather, every effort will be made to keep the school open wherever it is safe to do so. Decisions about school closures or partial closures are made by the Headteacher after carefully assessing factors such as site safety, staffing levels, heating, water supply, toilet facilities, road conditions, and weather forecasts.

If severe weather means that the school cannot operate safely, parents will be informed as soon as possible through the school's usual communication channels and the Ceredigion School Alerts Service. Closure information is also published on the Ceredigion County Council website and associated alert services.

Where possible, the school may remain open with modified arrangements, delayed opening times, or partial attendance for certain year groups. In exceptional circumstances, pupils may need to be collected early, but children will never be sent home without appropriate parental consent and supervision arrangements.

Parents are encouraged to monitor school communications carefully during periods of adverse weather and to ensure their contact details are kept up to date so that important messages can be received promptly.

Our aim is always to keep the school open whenever it is safe to do so, while ensuring the safety of all pupils, staff and visitors.
