Bad Weather Procedures

Wherever possible Southbroom Infant School will always try and stay open even in bad weather. Sometimes though it may be necessary because of poor weather conditions or for other reasons to close the school.

If school has to close or have a later start time (sometimes this gives time for roads to clear) then we always send a message via Arbor and Class Dojo. We will also broadcast a message on local radio stations & their websites at the start of the day.

These are:

  • Heart Radio/GWR FM: 97.2 and 102.2 FM
  • BBC Radio Wiltshire: 103.5, 104.3 and DAB
  • BBC Radio website

As well as Arbor and Class Dojo, a message will also be posted on the school website and on our Facebook Page.

Radio messages will only ever declare school closure and Arbor, Class Dojo and Facebook messages will only be sent if the school will be closed or a later start time is necessary
