As winter sets in, we hope that normal academy opening hours will not be disrupted by severe weather conditions. We understand that closure can inconvenience parents and carers in making alternative arrangements, and creates additional challenges for staff and students. It is the policy of the academy to make every effort to remain open whenever possible, however the safety of all students, parents, and staff remains essential.
The decision to close the academy, either before or during the academy day, will be made by the Principal and Senior Leadership Team. The academy will only be closed if one or more of the following conditions apply:
If the academy is to close, a decision will be made by 6:45am and the following will apply:
However, parents are expected to check the website/Facebook/ParentMail and/or make themselves aware of the radio broadcasts when it is clear that closure is a possibility.
If there is a heavy snowfall during the academy day, we will endeavour to keep the students in the academy until the end of the day, and ask parent/carers to check the academy website or radio stations, to find out if the academy will be open the following day.
The academy will make all practicable efforts to keep parents informed as to opening during adverse weather conditions as early as possible, as we appreciate that such conditions and uncertainty places considerable difficulties upon parents. However parents are expected to check the website, and/or make themselves aware of the radio broadcasts, when it is clear that closure is a possibility.
In the event of snow, main pathways will be cleared and gritted. Parents, students and visitors should be aware that pathways, even when cleared, do remain dangerous. Break and lunchtimes may be changed due to adverse weather conditions.
We will try to ensure that the academy stays open but the safety of the students, those who accompany them and the staff has to be the priority.
Our academy prides itself on the relationship between the academy and home, with an emphasis for students on belonging and being proud to be part of the Discovery Family.
We achieve the academy purpose through an unwavering focus on our students’ results and progress within their learning, and by offering the absolute best teaching and support.
Here you can find a collection of our latest news. We aim to keep all stakeholders as up-to-date as possible.
