School closures
An alert system which will notify parents when schools are closed for bad weather, heating failures or other reasons has been developed by our
colleagues in ICT. You can sign up to receive school closure alerts by email for multiple schools – ideal if you have kids at primary and secondary school.
We’ll still publish any closures in all the usual places, including social media, on Moray Firth Radio and the school closures page on our website. This is just a handy addition which means you get emails directly to your computer or phone altering you of any closures, or changes to school closures.
