Information about School Closures

Hawthorn Community Primary School will remain open in all but the most exceptional circumstances. Examples of school closure may be localised flooding, heating failure or adverse weather conditions such as snow.  If it is necessary to close or partially close, we will ensure that the following process is followed.

The Headteacher will consider the local circumstances and specific issues relating to the school. It is Headteacher’s decision whether to close the school. This decision will be made as early as possible (usually by 7am) so that the information can be added to the websites listed below and broadcast to the public.

The school will inform parents in the following ways:

• Text message
• Local radio
• School website
