School Closure 18/02/2022

Dear Students, Parents and Carers

Extreme Weather - St. Peter’s CofE VA School unable to open safely on Friday 18^th February 2022

You will be aware there has been a very rare red weather warning in place for some areas of North Devon and Torridge, and an amber warning in place for Exeter on Friday 18^th February 2022.

An amber weather warning – what to expect:

• There is a good chance that flying debris could result in a danger to life
• Damage to buildings and homes is likely, with roofs blown off and power lines brought down
• Roads, bridges and railway lines are likely to close, with delays and cancellations to bus, train, ferry services and flights
• There is a good chance that power cuts, possibly prolonged, could occur , perhaps affecting other services, such as mobile phone coverage
• Large waves are likely and beach material is likely to be thrown onto sea fronts, coastal roads and properties, and flooding of some coastal properties seems likely.
• It is likely there will be falling branches and some uprooted trees

Staff and Student Safety

The safety of students and staff are my priority.  Some staff and students who live a distance away will not be able to travel safely and there may be disruption to local bus and train services. 

Therefore, in discussion with DCC and our Chair of Governors we have decided to move to remote learning for the day.

Details of our remote learning processes are attached and are also available on our website www.spexe.org.
