All Angus schools and early learning and childcare settings closed - Friday 24 January 2025

Message on behalf of Neil Lowden, Acting Director of Education and Lifelong Learning and Cllr Lynne Devine, Convener of Family, Education and Justice Committee:

Angus is covered by several Met Office weather warnings on Friday 24 January 2025. Widespread and significant disruption is expected tomorrow across Scotland:

“Storm Éowyn will move across the northwest of the UK on Friday, clearing to the northeast on Friday night and through Saturday morning. This will bring a spell of very strong west to southwesterly winds, with peak gusts of 60-70 mph fairly widely inland, 70-80 mph in some areas, and 80-90 mph along more exposed coasts and hills (perhaps even higher in a few locations). Winds will gradually ease from the south during Friday night and Saturday morning.”

Met Office forecasts show the potential for gusts in excess of 80mph in many parts of Angus.

To ensure the safety of our children and young people, their families, our employees and our key partners, we have taken the decision to close all Angus Schools and Early Learning and Childcare settings on Friday 24 January. We appreciate the impact of school closures and are making this decision now to provide clarity for parents/carers.

There will be no school transport running. This includes all ASN contracts and College contracts.

Schools will contact families directly with information about learning which is to be undertaken at home.

A direct payment will be made to children and young people who are eligible for free school meals based on financial criteria. Existing bookings for school meals will be automatically cancelled via ParentPay.
