Morning Closures
- Adverse Weather (Snow) – We will aim to make a decision regarding school closure by 7:00 a.m. and communicate via text message in the first instance. We will update our website and Dojos as soon as possible after that. Please ensure that we have an up to date mobile number to contact you.
- If no notification is provided by 7:30 a.m., please assume the school is open.
- Closure decisions will be made on a day-by-day basis depending on conditions such as on site, roads, local area and weather forecast.
- Other issues – if an unforeseen situation arises, such as an issue with the heating system is not working we will aim to make a decision regarding school closure by 8:00 a.m. and communicate via text message in the first instance. We will update our website and Dojos as soon as possible after that. The school will contact Transport as soon as possible. If students are already on Transport or are independent travellers, students will be supervised in school until transport home has been arranged and parents contacted.
During the School Day
- If heavy snow or an issue occurs during the day, we will contact parents/carers via text message and transport will be informed if an early closure is likely.
- Transport firms may decide to collect pupils early for safety reasons. If this happens, the firm will contact you directly, and we will also send a message.
Transport Decisions
- If the school is open but the transport firm deems travel unsafe, we will respect their decision not to transport pupils.
- If you decide to bring your child to school, please note that you will be responsible for collecting them when the school day ends or if an early closure occurs.
If you have any questions or queries, please contact us in the normal way. If you decide not to bring your child into school due to adverse weather conditions, please email enquiries@hallmoor.fet.ac or send a Dojo message to your class teacher.
Please ensure that school always has up to date contact information such as telephone numbers and email addresses.
