Glasgow City Council has this advice: “Any decision to close a school for whatever reason is always taken as a last resort.

“For this reason, we are not always able to give very much warning before the decision to close a school is taken, however, we will aim to communicate a school closure as quickly and effectively as we can via the following communication channels:

  • School text message to parents and carers
  • Glasgow City Council twitter feed @GlasgowCC
  • Multiple closures during periods of extreme weather will be communicated on our news pages
