Stockton-on-Tees Borough Council

School closures

In cases of disruption (such as strike action or adverse weather) we annotate our A to Z listings pages showing all schools, colleges and academies across Stockton borough showing any potential problems.

Please note:

• You need to ensure your browser is not viewing a cached version of our pages. We work to update pages regularly across the day and they are often republished many times.
  
  Refresh your view of each page (using CTRL + F5) to ensure you're viewing the very latest details.

and:

• While we endeavour to provide a comprehensive set of information we rely on institutions informing us that they do not intend to open.
• For definitive information you are advised to contact schools directly as it is possible they have not yet informed us of closure.
• Where no update is shown next to the institution name we have not received information as to closure.

Informing us of school closure

If a school decides that it will close because of an emergency situation or other disruption due to strike action or adverse weather,  the school closures e-form should be used to notify Stockton Council.

Once the form is submitted it is automatically sent to key Council services that need to know about the closure for example:

• Corporate Communications team - who will liaise with local media about school closures
• School meals
• School transport
• Education team

We can only accept notification of school closures from a school that submits the form along with the current password which has been supplied to Headteachers of Stockton Borough schools and colleges.
