Certain medications can be administered to children who are well enough to attend.

If school needs to fully or partially close in an emergency, we would contact parents via a text message. We would give as much notice as possible for you to collect your children, or to state that school is closed, and this would only be due to unforeseen circumstances. Please ensure we have two up to date emergency contact phone numbers for your family. 

 

In the event of snow, we aim to keep school open. In the unlikely event that staff are unable to get to school, Hales Valley Trust will make a decision by 8am on the day. We will again notify parents via text message, an announcement on the school website, Dudley Council website and on local radio stations. www.blackcountryradio.co.uk Click on news and then school closures. 

 

Please send your children to school unless you hear differently from us.
