As the most recent forecast from the Met Office update is now predicting winds of 80mph and the peak later in the day, there is a significant danger that we could open school this morning but would be dismissing pupils while the winds were at their strongest. At 80mph, this poses a very significant danger to anyone travelling, so we have taken the difficult decision to close school today.
As many other schools and nurseries are closing and some staff will be travelling from areas where the winds are even stronger, we have also taken into consideration that we may not be able to fully staff the school today when making the decision to close.
We are sorry for the inconvenience that this will cause, but our decision has been made to prioritise the health and safety of our pupils.
Teachers will be in contact with work for the children to complete. ... See MoreSee Less
