Severe Weather Warning



As you may know, the Met Office has given warning of what they call "a high risk of an extreme weather event" in Hampshire and surrounding areas. Although it is not clear how badly this will affect Southampton, heavy snow is likely, meaning that staff and pupils may experience difficult travelling conditions on the morning of Wednesday 6 January 2010.

Oakwood Infant and Junior Schools will remain open if possible but if conditions mean that it is unsafe for staff or pupils to come to school, then we may need to close.

We will make this decision as early as possible on Wednesday morning and information will be available here on the blog, the school answerphone, BBC Radio Solent and Southampton Online. You may also receive a text message from the school, but our text provider has said that there may be a delay if lots of schools are using the system at the same time.

If the schools are open, we expect children to be in school as normal, although we appreciate they may be late.

Thank you for your continued support!
