Any child who usually walks home alone won't be able to leave without parental permission.
In a message to parents, headteacher Jane Chambers said: "Because the weather is forecast to be poor at the end of the day, we are planning some changes to how we dismiss the children at the end of the day."
After outlining the pick-up times, she added: "If your child usually walks home by themselves AND they have younger brothers/sisters in school- we will send them to the class of their younger sibling to be collected by you from there.
Has there been any disruption at your child's school? Let us know in the comments here.
If children usually walk home by themselves and they DON'T have younger brothers/sisters in school, we will try to contact you to see if you still wish for them to walk home or if you wish for them to be collected. If we are not able to contact you, we will not be allowing them to walk home by themselves."
