    Bad weather - School closure

    5 November 2018 (by headmarton)

    Information for Parents and Carers

    I thought you would appreciate an advance reminder of what happens if we have to close school due to bad weather. Closing school is not an easy option and one that we are reluctant to do. Should the buses be unable to travel along School Lane, this makes our decision to close school an easy one; if buses and school transport deem the area to be unsafe we would not want parents, children and staff contemplating travelling to school.

    In previous years we have used an excellent system that meant everybody is well informed and we will repeat this again if we have to close, this was:

    A decision is made with the bus companies (normally by 6 am) and any school notifications will be sent using our text/email messaging service to parents as soon as possible. I will also contact the website: www.marton.cheshire.sch.uk to post a message to parents and use our school mobile app; informing everyone that school is closed on that day.

    Please can you inform the school office of any changes to mobile phone numbers or email addresses?

    Following this, we will contact local radio stations (Silk and Signal FM) to report school closed for their school bulletins that are made regularly.

    Should parents need to contact Bizzy Beez (before and after school club) they can be contacted on 07895355057. I hope you find this information useful.

    Please can we encourage parents to not ring school as we cannot answer all calls in the morning and staff may not be present at school

    If the weather deteriorates during an afternoon we will inform parents that school would more than likely be closed the next day.

    With best wishes, Mrs Nevin J. Deakin
