Friday 18th: College open
Currently Neale-Wade will open as planned. However with some heavy snowfall overnight in the Fenland area this situation may change. This blog, and consequently the College website, will be updated the moment any plans are changed.
Do check back here for further updates – we will keep this blog updated with the latest news.

A student
with the weather coming in and with school only being half day, i suggest the school being closed for the day, and as its christmas.
yr 8 student (girl)
Sorry but my mum said even if its little snow i do not have the approprate shoes for this weather which all of my school shoes have holes in which my feet very wet and very cold …. i dont think even if school is open i will no be comming in,
thank you
a student
I dont think we should go to school as its xmas and i cant remember the last time it snowed on xmas anyway were only having 3 periods i know we’ve been orginasing a asembly but we can do a welcome back asembly in january PLEASE LET US HAVE A SNOW DAY PLUS THE SNOW IS FALLING HEAVYLY AND SETTLING FAST
year 10 girl
to be honest i want to have a day off as it is ridiculous out there oh well i dont make the choices
merry christmas everyone x x x
beth:)

A STUDENT
where’s your christmas spirit?
yr 11
pretty bad already and more to come? close school
student
it seems quite bad here dont think they’ll be any school 2day!
Year 8 student
please please please don’t make me go to school in this snow i rely rely don’t like being wet :’(
year 10
It’s really bad where i am, and i live right down the road from neale wade, it’s snowed quite abit, …. so be careful if your planning on going outside.
Drama Student
We went on the drama trip to Blood brothers yesterday the “2 hour journey” took 5 hours. The roads were VERY dangerous and that was before this load of snow we got over night. The teachers were dreading having to go home and I wouldn’t be surprised if loads of the teachers were worried about the journey to come in today. If we only have 2 lessons and an assembly we really aren’t going to be doing much work anyway so why take an unnecessary risk for nothing? I live in March so it isn’t a problem for me but there are a lot of people who don’t live in March and there’s more snow forecasted for later anyway.
Hayley (Helix, yr7 girl in ada)
I think we ALL should go to school today because if your mates live a long distance away from you then this might be the last chance to see them before christmas. I am going to come to school – if it is open – so I can say ‘bye’ to my mates. To make the ‘day’ more fun we could have a snowman competition if the snow doesn’t melt before we can that is!
chloe
there seems to be quite alot of snow, and its not even like we’re going in for a full day PLUS we wont be learning anything in these two and a half lessons we have, its not often something exciting, such as snow, comes to march, so cant you just let us enjoy it? PLEASE
year 9 student
i dont see the point its half day and theres snow
A Parent.
I don’t think the school should open. As it is only a half dady anyway,Ii don’t htink it is worse all of the hastle of getting everyone in safely just for half a day.
year 10
i dont think we should go. its half a day to what is the point.its gunna be pretty hard for people living far away to travel and then just have to go back again cause of the half day.
year9
Do we have to go to school it doesn’t snow very often and its only the last day today
student
i really dont want to have to go school it is horribble i dont want to sit in lessons wet from the snow. why cant we just have a day off schoool.
Yr 8 boy
i agree with the other comment which says about it nearly being xmas and we could have a welcome back assembly plz consider closing the school
A Father
Out here in the Norfolk villages its pretty rough although the main roads are ok.
This 3 hr school day is daft if you ask me !!!!
student
It’s snowed wooo.
IT Tech
C’mon people! Its just a little snow! Once again Britain comes to a standstill of panic because some white stuff fell from the sky!! I’m still coming in! Just avoiding any ditches this time round!
I don’t think that we should go to school as the snow is settling,
The roads are slippery and i have to walk to school, i live a long way away from neale wade and i don’t really want to get wet and snowy.
yr 10 pupil
personally i wanted to come in today to see all my friends. however… i live out of march and so have to travel by bus and looking out at the roads they are still white and look pretty dangerous. i would be more than happy to come in if the roads weren’t so bad… but seeing how bad they look it makes me anxious about the journey traveling into school…please consider closing for the sake of us people that have to travel in.
YR7 Girl
Neale Wade let us have this 1 day off school the time it snowed in december ws when i was 3 and i don’t even remember going out and playin in it s plz let us have the day off
Student
I am un-decided if we should come in today:
I think its going to be dangerous for all those not living in march to travel into school today..
But i also think, if they dont want to come in then that fine, however for those who still want to i think it would be really nice for us all to see our friends before crimbo and give out the last of these christmas presents….
I dont know whether to start getting ready or not because not sure if gonna get ready then we wont have to go in….
MadMav :)
I say, Line up all the Students and Teachers outside the school, including you Mr Hitch…
and have the largest snowball fight in history, between the Teachers and Students and the winner decides on the outcome of the Day, ….Neale-Wade Open or Shut?
Let the Battles Commence!!!
a student
Please close is only 3 ours of school we will be missing
Yr 8 boy
what an awsome idea mad mav lol
Lily anderson - student leader
police have given out a warning not to travel unless its nessesary! its heavy snow and prodicted more during this morning i believe it will be worse to arrange travel back especially for people who arrive to school in buses. i do beleive that especially this day i am having interhouse and an assembally and others two lessons instead of interhouse. its pointless! we may aswell stay in bed and be warm. im not looking foward to be pelted with snowballs
REPROMAN
The repro man is on his way if I can make from out here in the fens you in March have no problem
student
just close the school its really dangerous for me becuase i dont live in march the roads are bad and the bus will be going all over the place on the road!!!!!
ayr 8 girl student
the snowball idea nahhh i dont wanna get colddd
person
to be honest i dont think many people are going to come in anyway if it will open so whats the point
Yr 11
i think you should shut the school coz the weather outside is relli bad and you are going to get loads of people chucking snow balls and stuff so i think you should shut the school
yr 8 student
oh man school , jOY i am getting pelted with snowballs yay i am really exited yaya …..NOT! please just shut the school
shane
come on people all the other schools around here are closed sir harrys smith is closed ive got to come al the way from whittlesey just to do 2 lessons and a assembly what a waste of time CLOSE THE SCHOOL PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yr8
hey i think we should nt go in its a stupid idea!! its half a day anyway soo wats the point in goin in 4 three periods???? we cn hav assembly in january!!! plzz dont make us come in!!!!
student - year 10
wats the point in going to school for 3 hours its pointlessand cromwell is closed. wats the point
yr 9 student
there is no point opening the school for 3 hours and there is more snow on the way today. its not worth it
I dont think we should go to school because it will snow heavier soon in the day and it will be trouble to get back home again, also people live far away and will have trouble getting here. it is only a half day, people wouldn’t come in anyway, so i don’t see the point. Just close the school for the kids.
Yr 8 boy
pleeeeeeeeeease shut the schol its not very often that we get snow days especially this close to christmas and all p
yr 10
i, as well as everyone, deserve today of. tis christmas after all and most of us want the day off
lucy allbut
You should just close the school theres no point keeping it open we’re all going home at period 3 anyway.
Also a majority of the teachers live in Peterborough so who’s going to keep an eye on us!
Neale-Wade + Snow = Disaster Snow Fights There is totally no point
Srudent
There are ment to be more showers though out the day so aswell as the trip to the school being bas enough the trip back my be worse !
a girl :)
i am going to wear BROWN boots, because my school shoes are slightly holey. I don’t want wet feet, so nobody tell me off for wearing brown shoes please
NOW VERY ANGRY STUDENT!
lOOK I NOW AHVE TO GO TO SCHOOL WITH NO SHOES THAT DONT HAVE HOLES IN AND PLUS THOMAS CLARKSON HAS CLOSEDAND SO HAS CROMWELL ITS NOT FAR US HAVING TO GO INTO SCHOOL SINCE NO ONE USE CAN WREMBER THE LAST TIME WE HAD SNOW IN DECEMBER PLESSSSSSSEAAASEEEE SHUT THE SCHOOL
A Student.
Last night i went on the drama trip. I didn’t get back until after 11:30pm. On the way home, we saw a lot of cars that had been involved in accidents because they had skidded off of the road. One of the cars we saw that had an accident was an ambulence. It had skidded off of the side of the road and into a ditch. If you open the school today, there could be many more crashes like this. So please don’t open the school. It’sa not like we have an exam or anything today. We won’t miss much. Just the assembly which is the same every year pretty much. Many Thanks.
student
i like to come in today but i dont think its gunna be very safe for the people living outside of march to travel!
Year 9 Student
I think the school should be closed, it will be really difficult for people who live further away, and
it’s only a half day. What’s the point?
student
all the other scools around here are closed this is ridicolous
sally Frost
Is the school open today then ?
Edit by Admin: Yes – as stated on the blog and main website – the College is open.
Year eleven, Student leader
This is my last christmas at Neale Wade and as to now it has never snowwed.
At school everyone will be throwing snowballs and people will get hurt, the roads aren’t very safe to travel on and the news is saying only go out if nessasary.
I think the college should be closed as school is only a half day, and nobody will turn up anyway because of this and the snow.
Happy Christmas Neale-Wade
why are we aloud to make commentss on your Blogs if they dont mean anything?
we have over 45 people against the idea, and 2-3 people that want to attend, and those are teachers?
i dont see the point of even begging for school to be closed if you already have your mind set.
Sad Student :(
it was hard to tell my little brother who was looking forward for playing in the snow with me taht i have to go to school for a stupid 3 hours his school is closed and he now ha no one to play with i got upset because i could she his fae sadden just beacuse stupid school is open plz do it for our younger brothers and sisters to have someone to play with becuse he has to have a childminder now grrrr
A level student
Hey guys it doesn’t matter for us a level students! we have already broke up
unlucky for the lower school going in. we can make snow men while lower school are working their socks off haha
chloe
guys im waiting to see if i have to put on my school clothes or not, so could you please tell me soonish, it’d be a GREAT help!
James
Oh well. Don’t forget to wrap up warm then. Neale-wade never closes.
James
…and this blog snow service is great!
Im not coming in to school. Its not just a little snow its alot and i dont want to do boring lessons when we can be out in the snow!! It will be a nightmare for the people who live in wisbech and have to take the bus to school!!! Shut the school!!
Meeeee!
I think if you live in march then there is no excuse not to go in. people who live in wisbech, maney, christchurch, outwell etc, they have some trouble getting in due to roads being icey. But, yes it should be closed i wouldn’t have gone in! Snow day!
year 11 student
it is so cold this morning and my dad can get into his car because its frozen, and this means that most of the cars will be frozen so no-one will be able to get into school, so there is bo point in opening the collage to day.
Oh just get on with it kids, go and have fun with your friends in the snow on the last day/morning of school, its all part of it – you’ve got a nice long holiday after today!
chloe
people will have left for school by this time, i think it is really unecessary for people to get to school and find it closed, could we have an update soon please?!
yr 7 girl
i think if every one has gone out of there ways to get people presents amd to come to school from far away i think we should go!!!
yr 8 boy
they need to update the website thingy cuz thts from yestday (therefore thay havent decided yet)
p.s merry christmas
Edit by Admin: Not quite sure what you mean by this – we’ve been updating the site continually and were ready to do so further as required. There was the time when I was travelling to College which may have made it look like it wasn’t being updated, but we’ve kept the site really up to date – the key message on the site saying that the College is open has been there since 6am
Anyone would think we live in Antartica!!!
Hayley (Helix, yr7 girl in ada)
OKAY! I have changed my mind! NO SCHOOL! santa claus is coming to town! whoo yeah!
roflol
Hayley (Helix, yr7 girl in ada)
I agree with lucy allbut
Robert Miller
Yeah I wish I didn’t have to go in today…OH WAIT, I FINISHED YESTERDAY. Bwaaahahahaha!
A parent
What on earth is up with you people? its only a bit of snow for gods sake!!! you have a couple of weeks off after today so why not go in and spread some christmas cheer to all your friends!!!! A bit o snow and the whole of England come to a stad still, pathetic!!!
Student
Just confirm it is open if it is because i don’t know whether to leave or not
year 8 girl
personally i think you should close the school … teachers wil travel all the way to school to turn round and go home again as it is a 3 hour day … if yhuu teachers want alot of hastle dealing with people throwing snowballs well open the school but i know at least 10 people not coming to school today .. i dont blame them .. my mum said that if we get a phone call she wil just say , well i have not kept my daughter of because of the snow i have kept her off as there is no1 to look after her …. so please … it only an asseble plus i have p.e then d.t then p.e again … i dont think i wil be doin p.e todayy ….. just close it .. yhuu all know that no1 wil come in
xxx PLEASEEE IT IS CHRISTMAS !
carl
ha ha im not going anyway because im going to kings lynn
Yr11 Student (who doesnt live in march)
i personally think you should close the school, im not coming in as my parents think the roads are too bad so even if i did want to i couldnt, but i think you should close it for march students as i went out in the snow this morning and it was really deep so most students have to walk in that and they are going to be cold and wet and theyve got to sit in that clothing for the rest of the day, and then have an assembley. the floors in the sports hall are going to be so wet and really disgusting. plus how often does it snow before christmas, with any luck it’ll snow on christmas day
so close the school please?
Student
I don’t have suitable foot wear for school today, every other school in the area has closed, its not like we’re going to do any work anyway, it’s a half day! grrr
A Happy Mother
Thanks for being open if only for a half day, we only live a few mins from the school and am happy the kids are away so i can finish shopping.
Alison Carman (Parent)
I would like to say, a very big thank you to the bus driver who got the children home from London last night safe and well, we are very grateful.
year 11
HAHA idont care what the stupid school does cus i aint going to school anyway
Edit by Admin: Thanks Lee (Parkin, Year 11)
Catt + Amie + Katie + Leoni
we all managed to come into school, its rather funny tbh ![]()
we think you’re all missing out, although were going home soon anyways ![]()
Its only snow tbh, you’re all just lazy! ![]()
MERRY CHRISTMAS
