Thurso and Wick High Schools Closed on Friday 19th January
19th January 2024
Weather is still hitting school transport services around the county.
Wick
Unfortunately we have made the decision to close the school tomorrow, Friday 19th January, due to the ongoing snowfall and hazardous road conditions. Prelims will be rearranged for Friday 2nd February, as with previous days this week. Work for pupils will be available on Google Classroom.
Thurso
Given that there is very little likelihood of the road conditions being any better by 7am tomorrow school transport is not running again on Friday 19th and the school will again be shut to pupils and staff. Teachers will post work online for all classes. Seniors should continue to prepare for exams.
All prelims scheduled for Friday will be added to the end of the exam diet - full revised timetable will be issued.
Many primaries and nurseries may also be affected.
