Dear Parents/Carers, 

As you may be aware there is a burst water main in the vicinity of school which is affecting our water supply.  

We have liaised with United Utilities who have advised there is no estimated timeline for resolving the issue. 

We have therefore had to make the difficult decision to close the school for Health & Safety reasons.  

In order to make sure that all children are dismissed from school safely and have onward transport please can you text your child from one of the numbers we hold on file to confirm they have permission to leave site and how they are getting home.   

 Should your child not have a phone with them today please email contact@canon-slade.bolton.sch.uk stating your child's full name and form. Please do not try to contact via phone.

If you are coming to collect your child please text them to let them know with an ETA time. Be mindful it is a busy site and we are expecting a lot of traffic. Please give priority to pedestrians at all times.  If you are able to car share this would reduce traffic. 

We are liaising with bus companies. The 910, 994, 905 and 911 buses are returning back to school. Should any other services be able to run we will let you know as soon as possible. However we will only allow students who have permission from parents to board the bus.  

If your child receives a free school meal they will be directed to the canteen to collect a grab bag. 

Work will be provided later today via Edulink.  

We really appreciate your support and flexibility at this difficult time.  

Kind regards,  

Canon Slade School
