School is closed 22nd January 2013

Due to the result of overnight snow school is closed today. The Caretaker was able to clear a pathway into school very early this morning but a further heavy shower at 6.10 a.m. meant that his efforts have been in vain. I made the decision to close the school at 6.45 a.m.. Having spent the last few hours on site and making a very slow jouney up through the valley behind cars that were sliping on the main road in Ystrad I am sure that you will agree that it was the only sensible decision to make under the circumstances. The Caretaker has agreed that he will endeavour to keep the pathway into school as clear as he can although with more snow forecast over the next 48 hours we will need to monitor this situation. Please will you keep your mobile phones at hand for text updates this week. The statistic report shows that out of the 208 pupil numbers wehave on file only 2 messages didn't reach their destination and the blog registering 688 hits on Sunday and positive feedback from our social networking sites home school communication seems to be at its most effective in ensuring that we are able to communicate with everyone in this challenging time. Thank you for your co-operation and understanding.
