• Government Covid Update

  Mon 11 May 2020

  Dear Parents/Carers,

   

  You may have heard some of Boris Johnson's briefing yesterday and it may leave you with some questions.  Like you, we have only just heard the announcement, so at this stage we are not in a position to answer any questions. As keen as we are to have more children back with us, we need to ensure that as far as possible it is safe for the children and staff to do so. 

   

  We are told to expect more guidance and information from the government about what the announcement may mean for our school. I await this, with interest.

   

  In the short term, nothing has changed.  We remain open for children of key workers, those with an EHCP who can socially distance safely, and those with social worker involvement. Staff continue working hard to support home learning via our website and Education City, and in school our caretaking team is working hard to ensure it is safe for us to be here.

   

  I will of course provide further information in the coming days and weeks when I am able to do so. Once again,

   

  I thank you for your continued support and understanding.

   

  Mrs Alex Pridgeon

  Headteacher

• National 'Clap for Carers' Campaign

  Thu 16 Apr 2020

  Hello everybody We hope you had a lovely Easter weekend and you are all enjoying the sunshine safely.  Today is Thursday, which has become our ‘National Clap for Carers’ day, during this crisis.  As a school we think it is important to recognise the importance of our NHS staff and ‘key workers’ at this time.  People who are putting themselves at risk for the sake of others, and to keep the country going during very difficult circumstances.  Please can we encourage you all to take part in the 8pm ‘Clap for Carers’, in appreciation of all those people who are making their own personal sacrifice at the moment to support us all. If your children are still awake, please get them involved too! 

  8pm - Clap for Carers Thursday 16th April, and every Thursday until further notice.  Thanks everybody!
