Moor Hall School CLOSED Frdiay 2nd March

Moor Hall School is closed tomorrow for parents and children due to severe weather conditions.

Extreme Weather

It has been a very cold day indeed and thankfully, with the support of Balfour Beatty and a prompt response from Western electrical, we were able to get the heating and electrical systems up and running by 10.30 this morning.  The initial fault only happened at 8.15 am, so there was some warmth remaining in school at the start of the school day.

In the case of any extreme weather conditions where we find that we have to close our school, you will be notified through text. Information is also posted on our school's website and Twitter accounts. A decision ordinarily will be made by 7.30am. Please keep an eye on your texts and our website should weather deteriorate badly at any point in the days ahead.

Moor Hall school open tomorrow

Moor Hall will be open tomorrow. Moorhens will be open as usual from 8am.

Thank you

Thanks to those who helped us try to grit the road and clear the pathways this afternoon and to Mr Gwillym who worked so hard to clear the site this morning. Mrs Gee, your mince pies were lovely. Thank you.

Thank you to our Community Police officers!

A HUGE thank you to PC McCallum and the team of officers who cleared the road this morning.

School OPEN on Wednesday 23rd January

The corner of Rowallan Road, adjacent to our school, was like a block of ice this morning. Mrs Garrington, our Chair of Governors, and I spent the majority of yesterday trying arrange for the road to be gritted but clearly we are not considered a priority by the Highways Department! This morning I contacted our local community police for advice and within the hour several officers arrived with grit and shovels. As a result of their hard work, the ice has been removed and the surface of the most dangerous area of the road has been gritted. When I left school today a car came round the 'gritted area' outside of the school gate, drove down Rowallan Road too quickly and then attempted to turn into Homer Road. The car left the road, mounted the pavement and buckled its rear wheel. If a child had been walking to school at that time there would have been a dreadful accident. The corner of Rowallan Road next to our school is dangerous at the best of times, it is where children and parents congregate. I have requested a grit bin and, should we find ourselves in this situation again I will be asking for volunteers to help clear the road - unless of course the council support us by placing us on their gritting route. Please can you walk to school with your child tomorrow. If you do have to go by car then please drive slowly.

School CLOSED on Tuesday 22nd January

Moor Hall School will be closed on Tuesday 22nd January. We will continue to work with the city council in order to aim to make the access to the school safe for Wednesday morning. Please follow this website and Twitter for updates tomorrow.
