Adverse Weather Guidelines

Telephone/Internet Information Service – Guidance for Parents

The Highland School Closures website reduces pressure on the heavily used phone system. However we continue to update the PIN facility as well as the website.

How to use the PIN service:

➢ Dial Highland Council’s access number: 0870 054 6999

calls charged at your National rate

➢ Now enter your school’s pin number: 041050

You have two attempts to enter the pin number and you will be disconnected after a second failed attempt. If this happens, check the number and redial. If you still have a problem check with your school.

➢ You will hear the school’s name. Ensure that this is correct before going on.➢ You will now be taken to the MAIN MENU where you will be given various options:

Press 1 to hear our school’s message about the adverse weather for example whether or not the school is to close or if transport arrangements have been affected.

Press 2 to leave a non urgent message – NB This facility is not an effective way of contacting us.  Phone the school on 01445 712275.

Press 3 to hear general school messages – NB We do not make much use of this facility.

Press 4 to enter the pin number for another school within the authority. Parents may have children who attend our Primary schools. This option allows you to move from one school’s messaging service to another without having to dial in again.
