Why would you say that, then not back it up??

Doesn't make a difference 'round here anyway... most of the schools are usually too fire damaged to be open.

Mount Carmel is closed tomorrow - couldn't get through to the school to get any information as it's been closed this week due to the fire they had over the holiday but I have a friend who works in the office there who has told me it's definately shut

Strange situation. The letter from the education office says they will be closed Monday, Tuesday & Wednesday. The information on 2BR which presumably comes from the school has said since last weekend that they will re-open on Friday. I just hope communication isn't on the cirriculum at Mount Carmel or ofsted will be failing it

Ah well saved me trying lol, i know its definately shut accymad, its been listed on the online telegraph as a definate {typical only school in accy to have a complete shut day** was going to try & ring em to get any clarification of when its open to pupils again, most say friday but the issue with my 1 is that nobody else much is going to be going on friday anyway as why should parents wash uniform or get them back for 1 day

Obviously want her back to school asap but says no point for 1 day & the usual well nobody else is flannel, do u know any more & what are your thoughts as getting no information from school or media typically.

My kids school is just closing the classes where teachers are striking. Fortunately, for me, both my kids are taught by teachers who aren't in the union so both are going in. Not that I was actually bothered as I'd prepared myself for a day with the kids anyway.

My friend has one daughter who's going in and one who isn't - think of the unhappiness at that household.

Know what you mean, I've had exactly the same argument with my lad about going in just for one day

.
I tried to ring the school yesterday but just got the answering machine which is why I rang my friend last night to ask her, didn't see the point getting him up early on Thursday to listen to the radio 'just in case'. She did say that her and another member of staff had gone in on Monday with the intention of sending out letters informing parents that they would be closed on Thursday but couldn't do it because their server is down after the fire so they have had to rely on Radio Lancs & 2BR putting out info and word of mouth to get the message out, not an ideal situation and there'll probably be some who'll kids turn up tomorrow . Just thought by posting on here I could let a few more people know what's going on.
