SNOW CLOSURES AND EXAMS – IMPORTANT KEY POINTS FOR STUDENTS WHO ARE TAKING EXAMS

• If the school is closed because of snow we will still open for students taking exams.
• Our Site Manager, Roger Smith, lives on site so will ensure that the exam rooms are open and he will work to ensure that access routes to the rooms are cleared and gritted.
• The buses may not be running so students will have to make their own arrangements for getting to and from school.
• You may wish to consider staying with friends or family who live closer to school on the night before exams if necessary.
• No one should take any unnecessary risks getting to school, and must take extra care when on the school site.
• The Exam Boards do allow Exams to be begun after the scheduled start time, so even if you are delayed in getting in to school you will still be able to take your exam providing you arrive within a reasonable time after the scheduled start time.
