Tuesday 19th November - Woody Fun Clun and School are both open as normal

SNOW PROCEDURES - SCHOOL CLOSURE

In the event of extreme inclement weather, such as when heavy falls of snow develop overnight and continue into the following day or extreme icy conditions occur, parents should take the following advice about the possibility of school closure. Whenever possible, Woodlesford Primary School will remain open. However, we have to consider the safety of all our children and staff, some of whom travel a distance into school each day. Should the need arise, in severe weather a decision will be made by 7.00 a.m. if the school is to be closed or there is a delay to the school start time. A  text message and email alert will be sent to parents informing you of a school closure.  

I would ask all parents to check for a text or email message if heavy snow is falling or has fallen overnight or if there is other extreme weather and there have been school closures announced. Please do not telephone the school before 8.30 a.m. If you do arrive at school, please do not leave your children without confirming that the school is to remain open. Once the school is open for the day, we will continue to assess the situation and if it is felt that we need to close the school you will be contacted by text or email.. Please ensure your child has the appropriate clothing for the weather conditions!          

Our aim is to open every day but hopefully, this information will give some clarity.­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­

Welcome to Woodlesford Primary School.

I would like to warmly welcome you and your child to Woodlesford Primary School. We are a successful and happy school, with a strong reputation within our community for achieving high levels of academic success. This has recently been confirmed by Ofsted, May 2023. Woodlesford has a fun, happy and vibrant atmosphere where our children thrive in a supportive and collaborative environment.

We cater for children aged between 3 and 11, and have approximately 440 pupils on roll, with the majority of pupils coming from the village of Woodlesford. Our school is set in extensive, attractive grounds that provide our children a wonderful place to not only play but learn about the world around them.

Our main aim is to ensure that all our children are safe, happy and enjoy school. We always strive to provide the best possible education. We encourage our children to become confident lifelong, learners and to achieve high standards in everything they do. Children who leave Woodlesford are well rounded, motivated, knowledgeable, independent individuals prepared for an exciting future on their educational journey.

Working together as a partnership, both with yourselves and the wider community, is key to developing a successful and happy school and we hope that you will work with us to ensure the best possible education for your child.  We firmly believe that we can achieve greater things by working in partnership.

I look forward to welcoming you and your child and would encourage you to come and visit us to find out more about what makes this school so special. For further insight into all the great things at Woodlesford Primary School, please do take a look at twitter @WoodlesfordPRI
