School closures in an emergency

Schools are only open to in-person learning for pupils in P1-3, along with a limited number of senior phase pupils.

All other children and young people will have remote learning.

From the week beginning 22 February, we plan:

• a full-time return to school for all remaining primary school children
• a part-time return to school for all secondary pupils
• a return for all regulated childcare, including breakfast and after-school clubs, for primary pupils

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.
