Schools sometimes have to take a decision to close on a morning if bad weather means insufficient staff will make it in to Safely supervise pupils, or if the school site isn't safe due to snow/ice.


Even if they do open, high levels of pupil absence often mean lessons don't run as normal. And where transport difficulties might mean travel home for staff is likely to be very difficult or dangerous, early closure is likely.


Staff are also affected if their own children are sent home from school.


And some parents wish to collect their children early.


Anyway, we will see. I am on standbybtoget up to the horniman if the chance arises!

The school is responsible for children until parents arrive, in case of closure, and staff living near the school are expected to be first in and last to leave on such days, so any pupils who can't be collected are looked after, don't worry.

    • I think you have been very kind towards the the council.  And even kinder in your description of Peckham High Street (LOL). Peckham High Street Rye Lane is awful.  I know it is a very controversial opinion   but I am happy that some parts are going to developed and re built.   The dirty pavements, graffiti shops that put their stock all over pavements and racing cyclists make it not an enjoyable place to be in.  In the old days any business would have to keep their premises in good order.   I am much happier being near a simple bit of over greenery or weed.   It is much cleaner and feels safer to be next to.   Some parts of Peckham are plagued by Zombie like people who have fallen prey to substance abuse.  And I don't see the council putting much effort into helping these poor lost souls.
    • Our refuse collectors leave rubbish all the way down the hill after they have emptied the bins. Everywhere you go you see rubbish everywhere. On some days walking through the high street in Peckham can be truly depressing with plastic bags and paper blowing around everywhere, Peckham and other streets deserve better than this Council complacency. I'm sure it wasn't so bad back in the day. Councils everywhere, faced with cuts in revenue, must have decided a long time ago  that litter picking  and rubbish collection were not so important. I think a clean, tidy environment makes everyone feel better about their home environment. Btw, I'm ok with a few weeds. They are just wild flowers in an inconvenient place.
    • Have just enjoyed watching 100s of cyclists go past on Peckham Rye west. Couple of penny farthings, lit up bikes and music too!
    • This thread has got weird, people asking what the kids look like that are terrorizing people and getting shut down points to one thing
