Local radio
Local radio stations are informed of any school closures by the school so that they can broadcast the details and alert parents. The radio station should be informed as early as possible, and preferably before 7.00 am, to allow parents time to make childcare arrangements. Stations informed of school closures are as follows:
- BBC Radio Humberside - Frequency: 95.9 MHz
- Viking Radio (Bauer Radio) - Frequency: FM: 96.9 MHz; DAB:10D; RDS: VIKING
- BBC Radio York - Frequency: 103.7, 95.5, 104.3FM
- Greatest Hits Radio (was KC FM) - Frequency: 99.8 MHz
