The Met Office has updated their warnings for Thursday. The Amber Warning is now the highest risk Amber Warning possible and is in force from 12.00 Thursday 1st March. The snow is likely to be accompanied by strong easterly winds. In the warning the Met Office Forecaster has stated that "long delays and cancellations to public transport is expected, whilst some roads may become blocked by deep snow, stranding vehicles and passengers. Long interruptions to power supplies and other utilities are likely to occur" in places within that Amber Warning area.
Given the accuracy of the forecast to date and the known level of snow and disruption caused in other parts of the country, the safety of our pupils and staff is paramount. Therefore, the local authority is advising all schools to close tomorrow to both pupils and staff. The decision has also been made by the school to currently close on Friday.The Met Office is expecting a period of heavy snow to develop across most of Wales towards the end of this week.
The school will always open and continue to do so providing we have sufficient teaching and support staff available for lessons to take place throughout the day, and it safe to do so.
A decision to close, partially close or delay opening the school is usually made between the Headteacher and Chair of Governors. Any such decision (except for adverse weather during the day) will be taken early in the morning and information posted on the school website, twitter, via our text messaging service and then made available via the council website and local media outlets.
If weather conditions change drastically this week, there is a possibility that the school may be closed.
