Adverse Weather

In the event of adverse weather conditions, such as heavy and persistent snowfall, you will need to decide if it is necessary to keep your children at home. If we decide to close the school before the school day begins due to severe weather, we will post a message on the front page of our website and our social media feeds. We will also leave an automated message on the school answer machine to notify you of the closure as early as possible.

Additionally, you may wish to check the Flintshire Local Authority website for ‘school snow closures’ information (www.flintshire.gov.uk). Flintshire Local Authority will make every effort to announce the closure on local radio stations, including Wrexham and Chester Capital FM 103.4. Further announcements may also be made on BBC Radio Wales.

Occasionally, we may need to close the school before the end of the normal school day. In these instances, school buses will collect students and drop them off earlier than usual. Therefore, we ask that all parents and carers ensure their children have access to a place of shelter, perhaps with a relative, neighbor, or friend. Please make sure that all children are clear on their specific arrangements.

If weather bulletins report hazardous conditions, parents should use their discretion about sending their children to school. Your child’s safety is our top priority. We greatly appreciate your cooperation in these matters.

For more adverse weather information, please stay tuned to our communication channels and local radio stations. Thank you for your understanding and support during these times.
