Bad weather procedures!

As always, we will make every effort to keep the school open. However, just in case the weather does defeat us at any point, here are some useful points of contact where you can check if the school is open. Initially, we will use our text messaging service.

The Durham County Website also contains up to date information with regard to School Closures

We have decided not to use local radio announcements as we have experienced problems in the past.  We hope that you find this information useful.

Durham Learning Gateway (DLG)

The Durham Learning Gateway provides a secure learning platform for pupils, parents and governors to access school information and resources. The school provides each pupil, parent and governor with a individualised and unique username and password.
