Dear parents/carers,   This term has been long and challenging for everyone and your children have been simply amazing, as have our brilliant staff.  Therefore I have arranged for the whole school to watch a virtual panto on the last morning of school.  All children and staff will be sitting down watching the virtual panto…

Dear parents/carers,   Unfortunately, I have been informed over the weekend that a member of the school catering staff has testing positive for Covid 19.  The member of staff has not been in school since Tuesday and they did not leave the school kitchen on Monday and Tuesday.  Therefore there is no risk to your…

Dear parents and carers,   Outside our school are yellow zig zags which are there to keep all of our children safe.  On a Friday a number of parents/carers are thoughtlessly parking on these yellow zig zags when they collect their children for the afternoon.   PLEASE can you ALL think of the safety of…

Following a planning meeting this morning, we are excited to be able to tell you that OOSC will be opening on Wednesday 2nd September! The organisation of OOSC is going to have to be different, in order to comply with the DfE guidance for schools.  But we are confident that we have some ways to…

Dear parents/carers,   As you may know, schools finally received some guidance about September, at the end of last week.  We are now working through the guidance and making decisions about what it will mean for our school and how we will operate in September.  Things will need to be organised very differently in order…
