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.

    • Oh dear, Angelina - get ready for the pile-on!
    • I wonder if we haven't been suitably offended - did we miss  a trick in allowing the OP to call her a woman - perhaps the person identifies as gender fluid (or other) and is offended.
    • Would you have jumped down the OP's throat if they'd described the perp as white, 50s, male?  How we morphed from a hurried post about a shop-lifter, to rampant racism, migrants and single mothers, I do not know.  And I thought the thread about hot dogs was hysterical....
    • Yes tell the police..give them a description… what is the case for describing here, it’s irrelevant information. What’s the percentage of people in ED fitting that description. I’m sure the Daily Mail thinks all the irrelevant information about ‘migrants’ , ‘single mothers’  ‘etc etc is ‘fine’. Once on social media it instantly affects what people think and that’s the issue. It matters.    https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025/jun/27/black-children-arrested-london-more-likely-criminalised-than-white-children
