Since the recent snow first fell, last Wednesday (6th January), I have been enjoying it with my own family.
Unfortunately, for school, it has presented many challenges. Each day we have had to take extra measures to ensure staff and pupils remain safe. The main decision, we have taken on a daily basis, is to keep the pupils inside at break and lunch time. While this is OK for one or two days for a prolonged period it has put a strain on the school community.
Today, after consultation with Senior Colleagues, Governors and the Local Authority I took the decision to close at lunchtime. This decision will be reviewed daily. I do not expect to take this action every time it snows. However it is a consequence of a prolonged spell of very poor weather.

It must be a very difficult decision to make because there are many, varied opinions on this issue. You can't please everyone and there will always be someone who disagrees with you and wants to complain.
