Important: Notice from Bishop Heber Headteacher re School Opening on Tuesday 12 December

School Closure Notice – update

Dear parent / student,
Thank you for your understanding with today's School Closure Notice. Heber staff have been in school throughout the day trying to make the site safe for us to return tomorrow. The temperature at Heber is -5 degrees Celsius and its proving difficult to clear the site of ice and we have ordered additional supplies of salt/grit as we've used what we had in storage.

However, we plan to OPEN the school tomorrow (Tuesday 12th December) with the following conditions:

1. Non uniform to be worn – wear lots of warm clothing (layers) and suitable footwear for slippery conditions. Staff and students will have to be sensible and careful walking around the site.
2. Bring a packed lunch – we have had no food deliveries today (or tomorrow) – we will be able to serve some basic hot food (e.g. pasta).
3. Transport – at this time all we know is that the buses are likely to run on the main routes only – we will send a list of stops that will pick-up / operate tomorrow later this afternoon.
4. School will close at 4.30 p.m. – after school clubs and the Library will not be available.

Clearly, this may change if at 6 a.m. the bus companies are unable to operate – we will inform you in the usual ways.

Thank you for your continued support
Mr Curry
