School Closure - 9th February
9th Feb 2021

Weather conditions have not improved overnight and many of the transport providers are unwilling to drive in these conditions. Roads are extremely icy as is the school site.

Extending Provision Update
3rd Jun 2020

This week we will be contacting parents/carers regarding extending our provision. As stated earlier, it is not possible at this time to offer to all parents who have requested a place, but please be assured we will be reviewing the provision each fortnight with a view to extending our offer if we are able to do so. This is obviously dependent on us having the staff available and that further extending our provision does not compromise the health and safety of our pupils and staff. All parents will be receiving the Parent Handbook through the post over the next couple of days, which details the new ways of working in order to promote the health and safety of all members of the school community.

Extending Provision
1st Jun 2020

We wrote to you all at the end of last term to say that we would be in touch this week to discuss school placements for those parents who would like their child to return. We will be contacting all parents/carers on Wednesday (3rd June) to let you know about provision moving forward. Decisions for placement have been based on risk assessment and there may be a need for us to liaise with our colleagues within the NHS to ensure we have the correct PPE and safety measures in place to cater for the needs of specific children. As stated in my letter, given our staffing capacity we will not be in a position to offer a place to all pupils whose parents have requested one.
