- School transport in Bad Weather
- If you have any doubt as to the safety of the road conditions, you must take the decision whether or not to keep your child off school. To enquire about school closures in times of adverse weather phone Highland Council Number 0870 054 6999 and enter the school's own pin number 042790. On occasions pupils may have to be sent home early and it is important that their emergency contact number is kept up to date.
