Snow closure

This winter, the school has had to close for two days because of heavy snowfall and thick ice. Whilst this decision is regrettable and only taken as a last resort, it has proved to be necessary for the safety of girls, parents and staff travelling to and from school.
  • Culcheth Hall School will be open as usual until parents are advised otherwise by text message as soon as possible after the decision to close has been made. Local radio stations and Trafford Education Authority will also be informed.  
  • Parents should consider their own personal circumstances and the safety of their daughter -if you consider it unsafe for your daughter to travel to school, keep her at home! Email the school office to this effect, stating your daughter's name and form.
  • If heavy snow is likely during the day and travel conditions are likely to be hazardous, phone the school or pick up your daughter early. Parents must report to the office in this instance.
  • The school must be notified (by email or phone) by a girl's parent if the parent of another pupil or other responsible adult is collecting her. Please state your daughter's name, form and the name of the adult collecting her.
  • 'Phone the office for information (0161 928 1862). If the line is permanently engaged, you may assume the school is closing and the office staff are 'phoning parents to that effect.
  • Do not try to contact your daughter on her mobile as this may disrupt classes in session. Only contact your daughter via the school office (0161 928 1862 or email).
