Closure Information
We always endeavour to keep the school open. If we do have to close because of a disruption to our basic services (water, gas, electric) or due to bad weather, we do send a text as soon as possible and put messages on this website and on the Gloucestershire County Council school closures page.

We also notify local radio who air an announcement in these circumstances.
