St Aidan’s Church of England High School in Harrogate is closed today.
Headteacher Siân Dover posted on social media yesterday about the decision, which affects the final day of term before the Easter holidays.
Ms Dover said:
We are experiencing a total outage of our internet and school network on site at St Aidan’s and this is impacting on all our communication systems including safeguarding systems, student registration, telephone networks in and out of the school, and our monitoring and filtering internet safety systems.
We have therefore had to make the difficult decision to close the school tomorrow (Friday 4th April). We appreciate that this decision is extremely inconvenient, and we cannot apologise enough for this. Please know that it has been made as a last resort with the safeguarding of all our students at the forefront of the decision.
The post added the school was “endeavouring to set work for students on Teams tomorrow should they have access to this from home.
