Partial Closure at St Joseph’s Catholic Primary School

Daily School Closure Report:

St Joseph’s Catholic Primary School in Bradford has announced a partial closure due to a heating system failure affecting the Key Stage 2 (KS2) area. The issue is expected to persist at least until the following day, impacting the attendance of some pupils.

Details of the Closure

The school’s KS2 heating system is currently broken and will not be repaired before tomorrow. As a result, the school has implemented a partial closure affecting KS2 pupils. However, the Nursery, Reception, Year 1, and Year 2 classes remain open as usual.

Attendance Arrangements for KS2 Pupils

Parents of KS2 children have been advised of the following arrangements:

• Children in KS2 whose parents have no alternative childcare arrangements are permitted to attend school.
• Families experiencing financial hardship are also encouraged to send their KS2 children to school during this period.
• Other KS2 pupils are expected to remain at home until the heating system is repaired.

These measures aim to balance safety and accessibility while the heating issue is resolved.

Ongoing Updates

The school and local authorities are working to fix the heating system as quickly as possible. Parents and guardians are advised to stay informed through official school communications for any further updates regarding reopening or changes to attendance arrangements.
