Severe Weather Plan

In the event of severe weather, a decision regarding school closure will be made by the Woodwater Academy leadership team. Closure will only occur if absolutely necessary and every effort will always be made to stay open as long as it is safe to do so.

The school will inform parents/guardians regarding closing and re-opening via a variety of methods:

• Main link for school closures: https://new.devon.gov.uk/schools/closure/

• The local radio stations will be notified: Radio Devon & Heart FM. Please see their website for more information: http://www.heart.co.uk/exeter/news/snow/

• Updates will be posted on the school website dev.webwisemedia.co.uk/woodwater.

• Where possible text messages will be sent out via our communication system, Arbor
