Decisions on closures

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.
Prior to 9:30am we advise parents to 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
