Reduced attendance of any kind impacts on students' learning and progress so it is vital that the school only closes in exceptional circumstances. The school will only close to students if the site is deemed to be unsafe. The decision to open or close the school does not take into account the journey to and from school as each student has a different journey to make. It is important that parents/carers satisfy themselves that their child can safely make the journey before they allow them to depart. We try to make a decision to close as early as possible in order to allow parents/carers time to make alternative arrangements if necessary. Depending on conditions we may inform you of a later start. If your child arrives before this time they will be supervised upon arrival. We will alert parents/carers to any closure in a variety of ways:- 1. We will send a Class Charts announcement 2. We will post a message under Latest News on the school website [www.aldercommunityhighschool.org.uk/news](http://www.aldercommunityhighschool.org.uk/news) 3. We will post a message on the school [Facebook](http://www.facebook.com/aldercommunityhigh) page 4. We will pass information on to the Local Authority In the event that the decision is made to close school, parents/carers will be advised of how students can access work at home, [which will be inline with our remote learning protocol.](https://alder-community-high-school.schudio.com/remote-learning) Thank you for your understanding and continuing support. - [![Rainbow Flag Award](https://files.schudio.com/alder-community-high-school/images/partners/Untitled_design_(1).png)](https://www.rainbowflagaward.co.uk/) - ![AcSEED](https://files.schudio.com/alder-community-high-school/images/partners/Untitled_design_(2).png) - ![CPOMS Student Safe](https://files.schudio.com/alder-community-high-school/images/partners/Cpoms_student_safe.png) - ![CPOMS Staff Safe](https://files.schudio.com/alder-community-high-school/images/partners/Cpoms_staff_safe.png) - [![ParentPay](https://files.schudio.com/alder-community-high-school/images/partners/Untitled_design_(4).png)](https://www.parentpay.com/) ##### Location Mottram Old Road Gee Cross Hyde Greater Manchester SK14 5NJ ##### Contact Us 0161 368 5132 ##### Stay Connected - [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/AlderCommunityHigh/) - [Youtube](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCPHzqAhyNS44u4g5Tk20eWA) - [LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/company/alder-community-high-school) © Copyright 2018–2026 Alder Community High School School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://www.aldercommunityhighschool.org.uk/img/logo/dark.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
