In the event of an emergency, such as Covid, a power cut or severe weather, that prevents schools from opening in the morning or results in an early closure a range of communications channels are used to let parents know. We will text all families and send a communication via ParentPay.
In addition, announcements will be made on local radio stations and via the Council’s corporate Twitter account www.twitter.com/Edinburgh_CC and Facebook page www.facebook.com/edinburghcouncil.
If many schools are affected, or the situation is likely to be prolonged, then the Council’s website https://www.edinburgh.gov.uk/schoolclosures will also be used.
