Hyndburn Park is closed due to a burst water pipe


just heard it on radio lancs
 
pfft capp the water pipe and get the sods back in school and let them keep tehir coats on in class.

they shut a school down if someone so much as farts these days fearing a gas leak :rolleyes:


there goes my new years resolution of been more sympathetic to others lol :D
 
St Mary's was shut today as well. I don't know if it's likely to be open tomorrow or not, yet.
 
Not sure. Someone said it was because staff couldn't come in but someone else said it was because it wasn't safe.

I think it's more likely the latter because the headmaster was waiting for the caretaker's opinion this morning, from what I understand.

Agree but aint the kids fault, just the tarts that run society these days.:rolleyes:

Caretaker proclaims 'wet leaves too slippy, and a danger to health and safety'.

Education to be suspended September - November, until further notice.
 
Yep, St Mary's is closed again. A lot of the teachers live in Burnley so it's quite possibly impossible to get over here.
 
i don't think i've ever seen so many on that list, it must be bad

Should teachers get paid when they can't get to school?

I have never yet not managed to get to work due to the weather. This weekend might be different but I used to work in Burnley and Preston and always got in.

If us engineers don't get in they would struggle to run production without us. That mean big financial losses for the company.

Yes i believe they should be paid or make the time up another day if its genuine. I to have always managed to get to work not an option really when you work in a hospital unless you live a real distance away and it is impossible, due to motorway closers etc.
Its not the fault of the teachers if authorities close the schools.

The head teacher decides in most cases.

If like Hyndburn Park it is because of burst pipes then I agree with you. If the school is closed just because the teachers can't get to work then I don't agree
 
My college has closed today due to adverse weather conditions also a meeting i was supposed to attend in Nelson cancelled, so i telephoned work to see if everyone had turned in as i was willing to work if they were short staffed. All staff have arrived at work and no one has called in for the afternoon shift due to the adverse weather conditions so people can get to work.
 
They might be able to get in to work, but as the snow is showing no signs of abating, what provisions are being made for these hardy souls to get home....or are they proposing to bed down in their place of work???
 
All Saints C of E in Clayton le Moors will not re-open tomorrow, this is due to not only the adverse weather conditions but also flooding in 3 classrooms.. anyone who has children who attend should check school website for further updates...
