PLEASE NOTE DUE TO THE ADVERSE WEATHER CONDITIONS BOTH APPLEBY GRAMMAR AND PRIMARY SCHOOLS ARE CLOSED TODAY (FRIDAY 20 NOVEMBER 2009, 06:45)
|
|
With the Met Office forecasting up
to 120mm of rain for parts of Cumbria through to Friday we are in constant communication with the Environment Agency and the local police
for advice on flooding/flood risk in Appleby and local Eden villages.
We will endeavour to keep the school open, as we have done today, but
will send students home when we are told of a flood risk to their
journey. Please listen to updates on local radio or news websites eg http://www.bbc.co.uk/
for further information. Could I also ask you to make sure you have
safe provision in place for your son/daughter if we have to send them
home. We recently sent home to you our emergency closure guidance which
is also accessible on this website (Parents Section, Letters to
Parents).
As you will be aware the situation in relation to flooding can change
very quickly. We will always place the safety of the students first
whilst acting on advice from the local police. Please also note that
AGS and Appleby Primary Headteachers discuss a coordinated response to
emergency closure but that we are both keen to ensure the communities
schools stay open!
Andrew Lund, Headteacher
Appleby Grammar School, Battlebarrow, Appleby, Cumbria, CA16 6XU
