Oral question asked in the House of Commons, by Philip Hollobone (Conservative). It was answered by David Laws (Liberal Democrat) on Monday, 10 February 2014 on behalf of the Department for Education.
School Opening (Bad Weather)
- Question
-
If he will take steps to ensure that schools stay open in adverse winter weather conditions.
- Answer
-
Our Department’s clear view is that head teachers should keep schools open during adverse weather conditions unless it is really not possible to do so. Our advice to schools makes it clear that they now have a great deal of flexibility to work creatively; for example, bringing together classes with teachers and volunteers working together.
