Adverse Weather

In the event of adverse weather it is always the academy’s priority to remain open and as such the premises team will work to ensure that the academy site is both accessible and as safe as possible.

There may be however rare instances where the academy might be unable to open as normal as a result of severe or adverse weather. Any changes to the usual opening arrangements will be communicated on the academy website, social media, Greatest Hits Radio West Yorkshire, and Wakefield Express Website. A text message will be sent to parents to confirm if the academy is closed due to adverse weather.

Where none of the above updates/communications have been provided, parents should assume that the academy is open as normal.

The Accord Multi Academy Trust is an educational charity established in September 2016 that is currently made up of four academies who were the founding members of the Trust. In September 2016 Horbury Academy and Ossett Academy & Sixth Form College came together, moving away from their stand-alone Trust status and were joined in December 2016 by Horbury Primary Academy and Middlestown Primary Academy.

The overarching vision for the Trust is to work in one ‘Accord – celebrating the differences of each academy through strong collaboration in order to inspire all members of our learning community to be the best that they can be.
