In the event of inclement weather, a decision will be made at around 6.30am whether to close the school or to remain open. This decision will be advertised here. Even if we remain open, the bus companies (Keighley & District Travel and Castle Coaches) may decide they need to alter or cancel some of their services - we will publish any messages from them here as soon as we are made aware of them.
If we are to close, any specific reasons for this, along with any notices relating to scheduled school events (such as Open Evenings, trips or Public Examinations) will appear here. BBC Radio Leeds and Fresh FM will also be informed and they will announce it periodically. Students should always assume that school will re-open the following day as normal unless we indicate otherwise.
It is possible that we will take the decision at 6.30 to remain open but the weather then deteriorates rapidly and/or the bus companies decide they need to suspend their services all together. In this situation we may reverse our decision and decide to close - we would therefore always advise students to check this website for the latest updates (including changes to bus routes) before they leave home.
In the unlikely event that we need to close part way through the school day (this decision is usually prompted by the bus companies informing us they are suspending their services, and will not be taken lightly) our
Emergency Closure procedures will be followed.
