Dear parents and carers,

In the event of school closure due to snow

It is very rare that school is closed due to snow or other adverse weather conditions but in this unlikely event, Rosehill School has put procedures in place to help keep parents and carers well informed.

In the event that school is closed, the relevant details will go directly to the Nottingham City Council. We also put the information onto:

• The school website www.therosehillschool.com  
• Local radio will also pick up the news from our system – BBC Radio Nottingham

We also aim to use our text message system (schoolcomms) which most parents and carers are signed up to. This provides you with a text message informing you about the situation. 

We do appreciate that parents and carers need information as quickly as possible and we will do our very best to ensure that this happens.

However, could I politely remind everyone that it will not be possible to contact the school office for information if school is closed.

Please assume that school is OPEN unless you hear otherwise from one of the official sources detailed above.

Many thanks to everyone for your ongoing support.

Kind regards

Cheryl Steele

Headteacher

UNISON union is holding a national celebration day for school support staff on Friday 24th November, called ‘Stars in our Schools’. Over the last few years thousands of children, staff and parents in schools across the UK have taken part in this event. Last year was a really lovely day at Rosehill, where staff nominated each other for all their hard work and support, and children thanked their teachers.

I would like to ensure that we join other schools again this year, in celebrating the positive role of the whole school support staff team in making Rosehill School a wonderful and happy place for children and young people to learn.

We will celebrate this day with pride at Rosehill School! If you would like your child to celebrate by wearing a superheroes outfit or bright colours to celebrate the work of the staff, please do so on Friday 24th November.
