School closures

Neighbouring councils

You can find out about school closures at neighbouring councils by visiting Directgov.

Inset days

Please see Inset Days for scheduled school closures.

Decisions on closures

Any decision to close a school will be made by the Headteacher/Chair of Governors, based on the local circumstances. Closures may have an effect on school transport.

Details of school closures and school transport information will be listed on this page when problems occur.

Details will also be passed to local radio stations.

Winter weather closures

During the winter months, there may be occasions when schools in the city are either partially or fully closed due to extreme weather conditions.

Closures may also occur throughout the year for other reasons including emergency structural repairs, heating failure or flooding.

Information on school closures due to severe weather will be posted on the Wolverhampton Today facebook page as soon as we are informed by the schools affected.

Parents can also listen to early morning broadcasts on local radio stations.

Special school closures

It may well be necessary to close Special Schools or withdraw transport before weather conditions become sufficiently bad to warrant the general closure of the schools. 

Any such decision will be given full internet, radio and press coverage.

Local radio stations

Information on school closures is posted on the Wolverhampton Today facebook page

Parents and carers can tune in to early morning broadcasts on the following local radio stations to find out if their school is closed:
