Dear parents,
Thank you all very much for your co-operation this morning. The staggered start ensured that the icy roads around the school were safer for all pedestrians. After carrying out a further health and safety check of the school and surrounding area, the roads and pavements are still icy, therefore we have decided to operate a staggered start to the school day tomorrow.
There are safe pathways around the school, and we would ask that all pupils and parents stick to them. Please be aware that as the yard is still covered with snow, pupils will have indoor play until the yards are clear. If there is no further significant snow tonight, we will try to clear the yards tomorrow. Anyone who would like to help us clear the yard tomorrow morning, as you drop your child to school please bring a shovel. This will further help us get back to a normal routine quickly, and help would be very much appreciated.
If you feel that you can get your child to school safely we will be open from :
• Nursery, reception, Years 1 and 2 at 8.50am please report to the infant hall where registers will be taken.
• Key stage two pupils (years 3,4,5 and 6) at 9.15am - please report to the hall where registers will be taken. If you have siblings who are in the infants and juniors they can both start at the earlier time and should both report to their respective halls.
• Unfortunately there will be no breakfast club again tomorrow.
• End of school day - As normal although rugby club and netball club is cancelled
We have asked the infant pupils to be in earlier tomorrow, to be fair to all parents who have work commitments.
We ask that pupils wear appropriate clothing and footwear for the conditions. If weather conditions worsen overnight please check this blog for updates.
We appreciate that this will cause inconvenience, however the health and safety of pupils and staff is paramount.
Please take extra care when dropping your child to school over the next few days. If you feel that it is unsafe to bring your child to school we understand in this instance. If weather conditions worsen tomorrow and you need to pick your child up early we will accommodate this. We are hoping to be back to a normal school day, including breakfast club on Wednesday. We will keep you updated as the week goes on.
Thank you for your continued understanding and cooperation in this matter.
Miss S. Harwood
