Severe Weather

During periods of severe weather Lakelands Academy will endeavour to remain open but the health and safety of both students and staff will be paramount in any decision to close the academy.

Please be assured the decision will not be taken lightly but we are not prepared to put people at risk. 

If severe weather is forecast, the situation will be assessed and a decision will be made whether Lakelands Academy should open or remain open and this will be communicated to you via the following:

• BBC Radio Shropshire - 96FM (please ensure you have the correct frequency) to check on updates on travel routes and school closures across Shropshire

• Here on the Lakelands Academy website www.lakelandsacademy.org.uk – this will be updated to inform you of the situation

• ParentMail – we will where possible use this facility to keep parents updated

• Shropshire Council Website http://www.shropshire.gov.uk/ – this will be updated with all Shropshire school closures.

• Lakelands Academy social media:
