Schools to Close

17 February 2022

Powys schools and early years educational provision will be closed tomorrow (18.2.22) due to the very high winds forecast across the county.

Winds could reach up to 60 - 70 miles per hour, with stronger gusts possible. Information provided by organisations such as Welsh Government, Met Office and Natural Resources Wales indicate that the conditions as a result of the storm are highly likely to cause significant damage to buildings and travelling in such conditions would be dangerous.

We do not wish to take any unnecessary risks and compromise the safety of children, young people and staff. Pupils will be able to continue with their learning online, with schools setting appropriate tasks for the 18.2.22

Please be vigilant and keep safe.
