Dear Parents and Carers,

School Closure – Tuesday 6 January

Due to the forecasted freezing conditions overnight making roads and footpaths to school dangerous, alongside staffing absence caused by childcare needs as local primary schools have closed throughout the afternoon and evening, we have taken the decision to close Scalby School tomorrow, Tuesday 6 January.

Despite clearing the site and gritting thoroughly today, I have just been down to school this evening and large areas have already begun to freeze. With temperatures set to drop further overnight, the site will be unsafe for students and staff in the morning.

Work will be set online for all year groups. A link will be sent for students tomorrow morning, and work will also be available on the school website by 9.30am for students to access.

We appreciate this decision may cause some inconvenience, but the safety of our students and staff must come first. Thank you for your understanding and continued support.

Kind regards,

Mr Robertson

Headteacher

Scalby School
