Thank you for your support and understanding this week. Fortunately, the extreme weather we have recently experienced is quite rare. On occasions such as this, the site staff work incredibly hard to clear paths and walkways within school, however despite the grounds being gritted overnight, and from 6 in the morning, sometimes the temperature is just too significant for the grit to take effect in time, which is when we make the difficult decision to keep some gates closed and offer alternative routes into school.
If you have any concerns about the state of pavements outside the school grounds, these need to be addressed to the council. Could I also ask that any frustrations are expressed appropriately to school staff, with the understanding that anything outside of the school grounds is not the responsibility of the school.
