Dear Parents and Carers,

Due to the severe weather conditions and the Met Office forecast of continuing snowfall and freezing temperatures, all schools within Our Lady and All Saints Catholic Multi Academy Company will be closed tomorrow, Friday 9^th January 2026.

This decision has not been taken lightly; however, the safety of our pupils, families, and staff is our highest priority. Closing our schools will help prevent hazardous travel situations for our school communities.

1. St Andrew’s Catholic Primary School, Solihull
2. St Anthony’s Catholic Primary School, Solihull
3. St Anne’s Catholic Primary School, Solihull
4. St Augustine’s Catholic Primary School, Solihull
