School Closure and Adverse Weather
It doesn't happen very often, but if Bishop Ridley has to close due to adverse weather conditions, we want to ensure that all parents and carers are able to find out as soon as possible.
Therefore, we will update the Opencheck website (https://opencheck.atomwide.com/default.aspx) as soon as a decision is made. Select the Local Authority as 'Bexley' and select "Bishop Ridley Church of England VA Primary School" from the dropdown list.
We will also update our school website News Page and communicate to parents via Parentmail using text message and email.
Wet Weather
Because of supervision issues we are unable to admit children into school before 8.30 a.m. except in very exceptional circumstances. The doors open at 8.30 a.m. and the children need to be in school by 8.45 a.m. When the weather is wet, we advise that you arrive between those two times so that you don't have to stand in the waiting area for too long. Where possible the school Hall will be open after 8:30 am to allow children to have shelter from very wet weather. Mr S Keep (Headteacher) and Teaching assistants will be on duty.
