Information regarding possible school closure

As we are approaching the time of year when a heavy snowfall could affect journeys to and from work or school, we are reminding you of the arrangements we have with regards to school closures.

In the event of a school closure due to heavy snow or a utility failure we will inform parents of a closure or delayed opening as soon as we can in a number of ways.

• There will be a message on our website www.summerlaneprimary.co.uk before 8a.m and on our telephone system.

• We will also send a message through @summerlanePS on Twitter.

• The first priority parent will also be sent a text message and email from School Comms.

• Dearne FM regularly reports on all school closures and also puts this information on its website www.dearnefm.co.uk.

• School may take the decision to have a delayed opening on days when it is likely that the snow fall will stop or start to thaw. You shall be notified about this through the above communication methods.

• If there is snow during the day, feel free to collect your child as soon as it is convenient.

• Please don’t worry about your child’s attendance due to bad weather as this is authorised and attendance is not affected by a school closure.
