Early arrival:

Winter weather:
As the winter weather approaches can we remind you about our procedures if in the unlikely event we have to close school because of extreme bad weather. If the school is to close you will be informed by a text message sent from school. We will also place information on the council’s website www.rochdale.gov.uk/snow
We will make every effort to ensure that school remains open.

Medicine in school:
Can we remind you of our policy regarding medicine in school. If at all possible if the Doctor prescribes medication could you ask for a dose which needs to be administered three times per day.
