Adverse Weather Protocol

Please note: in the event of a severe weather warning that may affect the school’s normal opening hours, the following procedures will be put in place:

  • As soon as we are alerted to severe weather, an email will be sent to parents with regular updates (if you know of a parent that would not receive an email, we would ask that you would help them by notifying them there may be a closure)

  • Any decision to close the school will be made by 7:30am. Information will be emailed to parents and posted on the front page of the website

  • www.talaverajuniorschool.co.uk will be updated on a regular basis – you will need to refresh your browser, if you stay logged on to the website

  • Wherever possible, we will have the school phone manned for telephone queries.

  • There will be a skeleton staff manning the telephones and to be on hand should a student not get the message and arrive at school.  

  • We will update the main Hampshire website regarding our status and any changes 

What happens if the weather deteriorates during the school day?

  • The school will only close in the event of severe weather or on advice from the Local Authority.  The decision will be made by the Headteacher.

  • The decision will be posted on the website, sent by email and students will be permitted to text a dictated message to parents.

  • All parents will be contacted and all children will need collecting. No children will walk home alone.

  • School will be kept opened and appropriately staffed until the last child has left the building.

"The school has excellent teaching qualities, communication skills and interpersonal relationships between the teachers and pupils are phenomenal"
