With all the bad weather currently affecting the country, parents are glued to local radio stations listening for the name of their child’s school before heading out on a potential long and perilous journey. Information about school closures is a potentially patchy affair, with each school contacting a variety of information providers in a bid to inform parents of school closures.
We have therefore decided to construct a central web site at schoolclosures.info to hold national school closure information to provide a single point of reference for parents wanting to know about school INSET/training days, closures due to bad weather or to check holidays – in effect any time a school is closed to pupils.
This also supports schools in delivery of their business continuity procedures by providing another communication medium through which to communicate with parents.
The service is free and there and no plans to introduce any charges for this service. The site will be fully searchable on the name of the school as well as having the usual facility to browse an entire authority.
