For your information, during wintery weather, we do not anticipate having to close the school. Mrs Thompson and all the staff work hard to keep Dunnington CE Primary School open wherever possible but occasionally circumstances such as extremely bad weather or other emergencies, such as loss of heating, may mean that we have to make a decision to close the school, or amend start and/or finish times.

Should this become necessary at any point, this would be announced on Radio York and would be published on the City of York Council and school website. Notification would also be sent by e-mail to all parents on the ParentPay system.

Please avoid telephoning the school office, leaving the line free for those who are having difficulty making the journey to work or for the school to make contingency plans should the need arise.

You can find information about which schools in the York area are closed due to adverse conditions etc. on the CYC website.
