In the event of the College being closed

School Closures

In the event of the College being closed due to bad weather conditions, a number of procedures have been put in place to keep parents informed.
If the decision to close the College has been made this information will be made available in the following ways as early as possible:

  1. The College website
  2. The BBC local radio station will broadcast details of school closures and these will also be listed on https://new.devon.gov.uk/schools/closure/
  3. All parents will be contacted by text
  4. Facebook

 

School Transport Cancellations

As you will appreciate we are unable to contact parents/carers individually if a route has been cancelled or delayed.

The advice to parents/carers is to wait for 20 minutes past the scheduled time the bus leaves the stop in the morning and then return home to make enquiries about the transport. It is a parental responsibility to wait with children until the bus arrives or make sure they return home safely if necessary.

The following DCC website is updated by Transport Officers and contractors at the earliest opportunity:
https://new.devon.gov.uk/schools/route-closures/

This shows any known route cancellations or amendments and can be accessed by parents or schools.

Alternatively the Call Centre will have information regarding transport changes – telephone number 0345 155 1019 – open 8am – 8pm.

If transport does not run in the morning and parents/carers bring their children in to school, they should also be prepared to collect them in the afternoon if the route is still not running.
