Both Wick and Thurso High Schools are open to town pupils only as there is no transport.

I know how you feel,waiting to see if watten closes,our road is awful , have phoned the bus to say i will take her at 9 rather than her leaving at 8.30 and waiting outside the school.

If you are in doubt over safey to put your children to school, then dont put them. Its a parents decision at the end of the day if you want to put your child to school when in doubt of weather conditions.

Best not to put a message if planning to open. If message says open and then school has to change arrangements due to weather change or staff availability then those who heard it was open by the message might not check and find it had later closed. No message then assume open until hear otherwise and always check again as late as you are able.

The responsibilty and the choice is yours. If in doubt about weather and safety do not send children to school.

I think they only update it if they are closed,but I may be wrong! I just wish some of the schools would update earlier in the morning,no point getting kids up at the crack of dawn and then the school is closed,if they were updated earlier then i could leave them sleeping for a while and everyone would be happy ;) x

I agree with you there Thumper particularly for parents with children who have to catch buses. No reason why the messages can't be posted at 7am.

If the schools are open then i will get my OH out of bed to take them!

I agree that the school closures should be posted earlier.

North School shut. I called the number and it said the school was open. Got Baby KCI in his snowsuit, settled in the pushchair, got down the path and was told by my neighbour that the school was shut!
Poor Baby KCI couldn't understand why it was such a short walk!
