Adverse Weather Procedures

We would like to remind parents and carers about the academy arrangements in the event of poor weather. Unfortunately, due to the location of the academy, we do tend to experience the worst of the weather and student safety is always our priority, particularly when we experience snow and ice.

We will endeavour to remain open during inclement weather and closing the academy would be a very last resort. However, if the weather conditions make the academy site unsafe for our students and staff, we may need to close and parents/carers will be informed by the following channels of communication:

• MCAS message or text message
• Academy website: http://grammar.trinitymat.org
• Our social media accounts (@trinityacademyg)
• Calderdale Council’s website

Should the decision be taken to close the academy, students will be notified as to how to access remote learning and reminded of home learning resources.

Please make sure you check the above and that the academy has your up-to-date mobile phone number so you can receive text messages. If you do not receive a text, and no announcement is made on the website, please assume the academy is open and make your way to school in a safe manner.

At times the decision to close the academy could be a result of advice from the bus companies who, if they considered it to be dangerous, would need to stop the buses running; again this will be avoided if at all possible. Information regarding this will also be available on the academy website.
