Severe Weather Information For Parents

This winter, Fife Council is continuing to make it easier for you to find out if your school is closed when the severe weather (especially snow), hits the Kingdom.

You will also be able to get information on road closures and other key Council service closures.

For the first time, we've created an online Winter Centre with all the latest school closures information plus a range of other winter information including winter advice, services, activities as well as weather and travel updates for Fife. This is another way to access all the latest information during severe weather and throughout the winter.

By 7.30 am on the morning of severe weather, there will still be an early update of what information is available accessible from your home. Further updates will be given throughout the day.

So when the severe weather starts you should:

  • Check the Fife Council listings on the Fife Council ITV Teletext page 373.
    (The final update each weekday will be supplied before 7.00 pm).
  • Listen to Kingdom FM (95.2 and 96.1), Radio Forth (97.3), Radio Tay (102.8 and 96.4) or other local radio stations.
  • Or call the Council's automated Winter Line on 0870 126 1266.
  • Or log on to www.fifedirect.org.uk/wintercentre

PLEASE USE THESE OPTIONS BEFORE TRYING TO CALL YOUR SCHOOL OR THE COUNCIL.
