School closures

If it's snowing, very icy or for any reason you believe a school may be closed, this is the webpage we will use to list school closures.

We will only share information about school closures that has come directly from schools.

For schools 

Schools are asked to report school closures to the council as soon as a closure decision has been made. Find out how by visiting the schools' Extranet page (login required).

We will then update parents about your school closure on this webpage and also on Sandwell Council's Twitter account and Facebook page.
