Contingency plans for bad weather disruption
In the event of a heavy snowfall overnight, Dr Casserly will be guided by the city as to whether school will remain closed. In the event of school closure, parents will receive a text message that will also be announced at regular intervals on Radio WM. Please ensure that school has your up-to-date contact details.
