The news is full of stories of schools closing due to the weather conditions. It must be hard if parents are depending on schools to look after their children during the working day; I would have thought that schools should consider it their duty to be open and able to look after any children who can get to school through the snow.
Beth’s school reiterated its adverse weather policy in today’s newsletter: “As we are always able to ensure a skeleton staff will be present, the school will not close. However, we do appreciate that it may not be possible for all pupils or staff to travel to school in certain conditions. We therefore cannot guarantee that there will be a full timetable under these circumstances, but children can be looked after during normal school hours.”
Which seems sensible.
