Huntingdon Primary
Emergency School Closure
In the rare event that the school needs to be closed without any advanced warning we will follow the procedures below, depending on whether or not school has already started.
UNEXPECTED CLOSURE DURING THE SCHOOL DAY
| a. Facebook | We are aware that not all parents access Facebook and do not rely on this forum as a sole message of communication. We also know that many parents do use Facebook and it is a very effective way of communicating with these parents quickly.
|
| b. Website | All information will be posted directly onto the front page of the website:
https://huntingdonprimary.cambs.sch.uk |
| c. Text Message
|
In the past we used a system to send bulk text messages. This was abandoned due to expense. Pricing has improved in recent years so we will start using this system again in emergencies. A bulk text message will be sent to the primary contact number for all parents who have supplied us with a mobile phone number. This will be a short message informing you that the school needs to close and what you should do next. You will not be able to reply to this message.
Please make sure the number we have on file for you is up to date. |
