Dear Parents/Carers,

Unfortunately, due to the worsening conditions on the car park and the roads leading to school, we are going to have to shut early. Marlborough Way and The Rock are proving very difficult indeed with many vehicles getting stuck.

We will run lunches from 11:30 until 1pm and at this point please can you carefully make your way to school to collect your children. If possible, please walk to the school rather than drive.

If your child normally walks home alone, you will still need to ring the school office or email your child’s year group email address before we will let them go. This is due to the extreme conditions.

We are shutting our main gate as our car park is not safe for traffic. The pedestrian gates will be open for you to collect your child from classroom doors as usual. However, please ensure you tread very carefully around the school site.

I have many staff who live some distance away from Telford and I need to ensure they have every opportunity to get home safely.

I can only apologise for the disruption. Like us, most schools across Telford have done their best to support working parents and remain open. We really hoped that the forecasts, which had indicated a more positive picture this morning were accurate, but unfortunately this has not been the case. Coupled with the steep nature of Rock Road and Marlborough Way, these factors have left us with little choice. Please keep an eye on the school website and Facebook page regarding tomorrow.

Thank you for your understanding and please take care.
