It is extremely rare that New Forest Alternative Provision closes due to weather or other circumstances. Where possible we will modify the school day to adapt to the weather/situation. For example, we may:
- Limit lessons that take place off site travel requirements
- Arrange a later start or earlier finish to the day to provide more time for travel
- Discuss alternative arrangements for those students who travel a significant distance to reach the school
Whenever there is advance warning of possible disruption due to weather conditions, New Forest Alternative Provision will try to contact all parents/carers to highlight the fact.
In order to communicate all information during these times, New Forest Alternative Provision will:
- Make use of the text message service in Arbor to communicate with parents/carers
- Make use of the email service in Arbor to communicate with parents/carers
- Attempt to make phone contact with all parents/carers
- Place a message on the homepage of this website and on the Arbor Parent Portal
