With the weather set to get colder over the coming weeks, we feel it is important to remind everyone of the procedure should we be unable to open due to adverse weather such as heavy snow. 

 

If you feel the weather conditions are unsuitable to travel in and are unsure as to whether school is open, please note the following steps will be taken as soon as possible:

• As soon as a decision is made to close, a message will be placed on the front page of our school website  www.southview-fed.hants.sch.uk 
• A text message will then be sent to the mobile phone number you provided  via our school text message service.
• Local radio stations and the Basingstoke Gazette will be notified of our closure through the Hampshire County Council Website

 

We will endeavour to clear the school site in both icy and snowy conditions, however please appreciate that some gates and pathways will not be opened until they have been gritted and made as safe as possible.  The main gate will be the priority entrance to be cleared and gritted.

 

Should we be unable to open the side gates, we will put a notice on them advising of the closest gate open.
