Severe weather procedures

Please note that in severe weather situations we will only close the school if there is no heating or staff are unable to get here.

If we do have to shut the school we will advise Parents/Carers by text or e-mail (providing they have registered to receive such communications) and we will also place a notice on this website.

Further information can also be found on the Southend Borough Council website – www.southend.gov.uk and on Southend Radio (105.1FM), BBC Essex (103.5FM/95.3FM) or Heart FM (96.3FM/102.6FM).

Please ensure you listen/look for St Helen’s Catholic Primary School in WESTCLIFF as there are other schools in Essex with the same name.
