Emergency closures
Circumstances may arise from time to time when it may be
necessary to temporarily close a school. The headteacher, usually
in consultation with the chair of governors, has the responsibility
for making this decision and it should only be considered as a last
resort once all other options have been looked into.
Each school will get in contact with parents and pupils using
one or more of the following methods to make sure that as many
people as possible get the message. Methods that specific schools
use should be in their schools prospectus/parents handbook and
staff handbook.
- School’s website
- School answer phone
- Local radio stations
- Notice on school gate/door/ window
- Phoning, texting or emailing parents
- Rochdale Borough Council website
Teacher days
Each year, schools have 5 inset days during term-time set aside
for staff training. These are agreed a year in advance as part of
the school holiday pattern and should be advertised to parents by
the school.
Schools can also move 2 days of the local authority recommended
holiday pattern e.g. for polling days or religious festivals. These
again, would be agreed by governing bodies a year in advance and
would be advertised to parents as part of the school calendar.
