The decision to close a school is for local management, based on conditions at the school and the health and safety of staff and pupils. If a school has to close, information will also be made available to parents/carers through the school’s normal communications channels (including the school website) and radio stations. Please ensure that your child’s school has your most up-to-date contact details.

| 23/10/2026 | 7072 | Glenwood School | Community special school | Havant | Full | High winds posing significant afety risks to pupils and staff | high winds pose a significant risk of falling branches from the tall trees on our school grounds. While we always try to keep the areas cordoned off, the safety of our pupils, who may not fully understand or avoid these restricted areas - must remain our absolute priority. We cannot guarantee a safe environment for your child/children under these conditions. The Local Authority have confirmed they will be carrying out essential tree management work over the upcoming half-term break to resolves this issue. However, until the work is completed, the site remains unsafe during severe weather. Work will be provided via Doodle. If you would like paper based work please let your tutor know. Attendance will be recorded as an authorised emergency closure and will not affect your child's attendance. We expect to reopen as normal after the half-term holiday on Monday 2nd November. We understand that school closures cause inconvenience for families, and we have not taken this decision lightly. Thank you for your continued support | 21/10/2026 |
