In the event that we have to make the decision to close school, for example in the case of heavy snowfall or extreme weather conditions, we will text parents as soon as the decision is made and before the first pick up on the school bus. Radio Shropshire & other local radio stations such as Beacon Radio will be informed and parents should listen for news of school closures from 7.00am onwards. Shropshire Council also announce school closures on their website at Shropshire Council School Closures
In the event school has to close early parents will again be informed by text (or telephone if you do not have a mobile phone). If parents are unable to collect their child from school or from the school bus we will require a telephone call to advise who you would like us to send your child home with or who has permission to collect them from their bus stop. It is advisable to give us this information when your child(ren) first start at Stoke on Tern School and keep us updated of any changes. We will send contact sheets home annually to remind parents to update contact/collection information.
