The Carlton site of Sutherland House School will reopen tomorrow (Friday 15th January). However, due to the cold weather, taxis will not be able to get access to the school via Lancaster Road. Vehicles will need to continue up Carlton Hill and turn right at Dale View Road. If taxis are able to pick pupils up a little later it will help us to stagger the arrival times of the pupils.
The Ravenshead site will be open from 10.00am tomorrow (Friday 15th January) morning.

The Carlton and Ravenshead sites of Sutherland House School will be closed tomorrow (Thursday 14th January) due to freezing temperatures and ice which have caused treacherous conditions on roads, pavements and carparks.
