• Do you have to drive to school?

  Fri 30 Sep 2022

  Most children live close enough to walk or cycle/scoot to school. It is often faster than driving and looking for a safe and legal place to park. Walking is good exercise for children and helps them to settle into their learning after an active journey to school. 

   

  Sometimes it is unavoidable and families must drive to school. If this is the case, allow time to park safely and considerately. Please do not block entrances, driveways or junctions - you may have to park some distance away from the school and walk the rest of the way.

   

  Thank you for your support and understanding to keep our local community safe.

  Tue 13 Sep 2022

  Dear Parents/Carers, 

   

  Following the sad news of the death of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, on Friday we held a Key Stage 1 and 2 assembly to commemorate the life of Her Majesty. The children were extremely respectful and mature as we discussed the amazing life and reign of Her Majesty.  

   

  Over the weekend, it was confirmed that a public holiday has been announced on the day of the state funeral: Monday 19^th September 2022. The school will be closed on this day. 

   

  If your child would normally attend an Extra-Curricular After School Club on this day, an alternative session will now take place on Monday 19^th December 2022.

   

  We will continue to follow Government guidance as we receive it and of course will keep you informed regarding any further information. 

   

  Kind regards, 

  Laura Kennedy-Weeks
