Prodedures regarding what to do and where to look in the even of school closures. 

In the event of a school closure during the school day, we will send a text and email all parents to advise them of this.   If you need a different adult to collect your child please email the school office office@candlebylane.co.uk to let us know.  There will always be staff at school until all children have been collected. 

If the school has to be closed, in the morning, before the start of the school day we will put it on the school website on the rolling banner on the home page.  We will also text and email all parents. If it is due to snow it will be broadcast on BBC Radio Nottingham. 

Once we inform BBC Radio Nottingham a member of the digital team will take the information from the NGAlerts system and create a Facebook post, pinned to the top of the BBC Radio Nottingham page https://www.facebook.com/BBCRadioNottingham/. On weekday snow closures this is normally done from 0630 every 15 minutes or so until 0900, then less often until around 1800, sometimes later. Closures for 'today' are normally removed late-afternoon. This update service is not offered each day, only when it's a snow-day typically involving 12 or more schools.

When does BBC Radio Nottingham read the schools closed list
BBC Radio Nottingham broadcasts school closures on weekday snow-days from 0600-1900. We don’t promise to read every school out. The A-Z list is used on-air until it gets too long, then only the ‘most recent’ are read and listeners are referred to https://www.facebook.com/BBCRadioNottingham/.

Where possible, please try not to ring the school office to ask if the school will be closed.  We will let you know via the systems above.  If you have not heard school will be closed via text, email or by a message on the school website we will be open.  

Please ensure that the office has your up to date phone number and email address.   Thank you, we really appreciate you support with this.
