School closures in an emergency

Schools are only open to in-person learning for children of key workers and vulnerable children.

All other children and young people will have remote learning.

From the week beginning 22 February, we plan:

• a full time return of early learning and childcare for all children below school age
• a full time return to school for pupils in primary years 1 - 3
• a part-time return for senior phase pupils to allow in-school practical work that they need to do to complete national qualification courses

School closures can happen because of emergencies like:

• severe winds
• flooding
• extreme winter weather
• the impact of coronavirus

These decisions are made in the interest of student and staff safety.
