Bad weather
If we have to shut School because of bad weather, we will take the following action to ensure all parents/guardians are aware of the situation:
-
Update this website with a message advising of closure.
-
Advise parents of closure via our Parentmail system, by text or email. Please ensure that you keep the school informed of any changes to your mobile phone number or email address.
-
Notify Central Bedfordshire Council who display school closures on their SOS website
-
Inform the local radio stations (Heart and BBC Three Counties) who broadcast all school closures on the station and on their websites:
www.heart.co.uk/dunstable
Please only call the school as a last resort, as we only have one phone line, which may become very busy.
