Adverse Weather Procedures

In the very rare event of disruption due to adverse weather conditions or for example heating failure or heavy snow, Isle of Ely Primary School considers the safety of all children, staff and visitors.

School Closures

The decision to close the school will be made as quickly as possible by the Headteacher, by 8am at the latest, and we will notify all parents and carers as follows:

Radio
We will inform BBC Radio Cambridgeshire, Star Radio and Heart, our local radio stations. Please ensure you listen early and keep up to date for any announcements and/or updates. They will also publish the information of school closures on their website. If you do not hear or see Isle of Ely Primary School listed on these websites, this means we will be open and your child is required to attend school as normal:
