Letters to Parents and Carers

Communication with parents is key and we use a variety of channels to do this.

A copy of all letters of a general nature, that are emailed to parents and/or brought home via students, will be available on this page. We also use Edulink, the school planner, social media channels and text messages, to communicate with parents.

It is important that we have the most up-to-date parent/guardian contact details and emergency contact details for your child. If any information changes throughout the school year, please notify us via the school planner or the contact form on this website.

School Closure Update 070125 (PDF)

Adverse Weather Procedures

05/01/25

Dear Parents/Carers

I am writing in respect of the arrangements should adverse weather necessitate any school closures.  In the morning, an assessment of the school site and the local area will be undertaken to determine (i) whether it is safe for students and staff to travel to / from school and (ii) if the site can be made sufficiently safe to accommodate students and staff.  If it is determined that it is necessary to close school, you will receive an email.  In addition, a notice will be posted on the school website (www.weatherheadhigh.co.uk) and on our social media platforms.

Decisions in relation to school closure are made by myself, after taking due advice from the Local Authority and other sources and my prime concern is the safety and well-being of both students and staff.  I can assure you that Weatherhead will only close when very exceptional circumstances make the safety issues of continuing to remain open a major concern.

In the event of a school closure, work will be set by teachers on Google Classroom, as best as is possible. 

Please check for relevant updates in the morning, prior to your child leaving for school.

Kind regards

Mr D Mackenzie
