Management Information Sheet
Cold weather, Emergency School Closures and Winter Gritting
Now that the weather is getting wintry we have provided some information to help you prepare.
Emergency School Closures
Schools occasionally have to close, be it broken pipes, no electricity, 6ft of snow or anything else that makes it impossible to safely run a school. In such an event we would encourage you to use, or continue to use, the school closure system which is available to you on the My School section of Norfolk Schools.
By doing this your school will be reported as closed on the school closure system - which the local radio stations have access to - so you don't need to contact them. Radio Norfolk will also read out a full list of school closures at different times throughout their broadcasts. The system is used by parents and other organisations in the community
Please familiarise yourself with the process - and you may wish to remind yourself of your password. If you are unsure about your password please contact the e-publishing team on 01603 224282.
You may also wish to note the school closure guidance at www.schools.norfolk.gov.uk
