Half Term Break

We close today for the half term break. We’ll see you all again on Monday 23rd February. Have fun!

Snow Sorry

I am so sorry that we had to close for 2 days because of the snow and ice. I know it probably caused inconvenience to you so please accept my apologies. The reason for closing was due to the number of staff who were unable to travel into school. Some were completely snowed in, others couldn’t make it because of public transport cancellations.

Year 4 put on a wonderful assembly this morning. They performed a sand dance helped along by clapping parents who helped out when technology let us down. The assembly was based on their Egyptian learning journey. Well done Year 4!

Please avoid parking on double yellow lines when dropping off or collecting your child from school. Please do not block the entrance to the school car park as it is in use all day.
