Dear Parents

Thank you all very much for your co-operation this week.   I realise it has been very disruptive to all.

I am pleased to inform you that Breakfast Club will be open tomorrow as normal. 

As ice is forecast again overnight, please could pupils go to their respective halls in the morning, where pupils will be registered and taken to their classes.

Many thanks again for your understanding in these circumstances.

Update for Thursday 24th January

Dear parents,


After carrying out a further health and safety check of the school and surrounding area today we have decided to open the school as normal tomorrow Thursday 24th January , however there will be no breakfast club.

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 you feel that you can get your child to school safely we will be open as normal but will register the children in their respective halls just in case some members of staff have difficulty arriving tomorrow.

• End of school day - As normal although country dancing is cancelled

We ask that pupils wear appropriate clothing and footwear for the conditions. If weather conditions worsen overnight please check this blog for updates.

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.

Thank you for your continued support and  understanding, it really is appreciated,

Miss S. Harwood

Update for tomorrow at 8pm

School Closed Today Wednesday 23rd January

Dear parents, in order to ensure the safety of all pupils and staff, the school will be closed today Wednesday  23rd January.

Today's decision to close has been more difficult than Friday's. However when deciding to open or close a school there are many factors to consider.
  • The safety of pupils, parents and staff when using the school paths, car park and yards,
  • The surrounding side roads,
  • Whether a significant number of staff can get to school on time in order to open.
After clearing much of the yard yesterday, a further one to two and a half inches has fallen overnight. When considering the above, speaking to the chair of governors, the caretaker and staff  we  have no option but to close the school today.

Many thanks for your continued co-operation and understanding,

Miss S Harwood

Snow Update for Wednesday 23rd January


Dear parents,

 

Thank you all very much for your co-operation once again 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 have improved, therefore we have decided to operate a normal start and finish to the school day tomorrow. However, we do ask all pupils and parents to ensure that they take extreme care and allow extra time to get to school as conditions may still be icy early in the morning.

 

Even though we have managed to clear some of the snow from the yards, (thank you to those parents who were able to help us do this) pupils will be reminded to walk on safe areas of the yard.

 

If you feel that you can get your child to school safely we will be open as normal but we regret to inform you that we are still not able to operate our breakfast club tomorrow Wednesday 23rd January.

 

We ask that pupils wear appropriate clothing and footwear for the conditions. If weather conditions worsen overnight please check this blog for updates.

 

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.

 

Thank you for your continued understanding and cooperation in this matter.

 

Miss S. Harwood
