    Fri 16 Mar 2018 Mr Bright

    Well done to everyone who dressed in animal mufti today.

    We raised a fantastic £330! Thank you!

  • Snow closure updates

    Thu 01 Mar 2018 Mr Bright

    Having carefully considered the weather forecast, we have taken the decision that children will be able to leave school today from 1.30pm onwards. We will wait with them in the hall and release them to parents as they arrive. Please do not worry if you are not able to be here for 1.30pm but the school will close completely at 3pm and there will be no After School Club today. Because of the Met Office amber weather warning, school will be closed on Friday 2 March to ensure safety for all.

     

    Thank you for bearing with us as we dismissed the children. I am sure you can appreciate the importance of ensuring that children were safely accounted for.
