Emergency Closure Procedure

Please do not phone the school. Instead check the school website home page, school twitter account, local radio and you phone for text messages.

The following procedures will be used should the school have to close because of severe weather or for an emergency.  Please do not telephone the school as if the school is closed there will be no-one to take your call.  If we are open we need to ensure lines are kept free to receive updates from staff if they experience difficulty with their journey.

In the event that the weather is severe and you suspect that school is closed, please look on the school website http://easttilburyprimary.thurrock.sch.uk as this will be continually updated.

Please check your mobile phone as we will use our texting service to send a text informing you that the school is closed once a decision has been made; we will endeavour to make this decision as early as possible.

If you have not received a text message, seen a message on the school or radio websites, or heard on the radio that school is closed then children should attend school as normal.  
​
Please ensure that your contact details are up to date and that any changes to your telephone number are reported to the school office to ensure we are able to provide you with the school information.
