Dear Parents/Carers, We are now 3 days into the return to school and I just wanted to update you on how things are going. I think it’s fair to say so far so good. The new procedures around social distancing that we’ve put in place are working well, routines of regular handwashing are being followed,…

Dear Parents/Carers, It has now been confirmed that children in Nursery, Reception, Year 1 and Year 6 will be returning to school next Monday, 1st June, and in my previous letter I outlined the measures we would be taking to keep the children and staff as safe as possible. I would just like to update…

Dear Parents/Guardians, Hope you are all keeping safe and well. Following the government decision to reopen school for years R, 1, and 6 from the 1st June 2020, we have been looking carefully at how we might be able to offer the wrap around provision again. Unfortunately at this time, the decision has been taken…

Dear Parents/Carers, I hope you are all keeping safe and well. Since March 20th, school has felt a very different place, quiet and empty.

Dear Parent/Carers I was hoping that by now we would be welcoming your children back to school but it doesn’t look likely that that will be happening for some time yet. I am sure that you are all finding the current situation as surreal/challenging and strange as me and no doubt your children are too.…

Dear Parent / Carer I very much hope you and your families are all staying safe and well. Thank you for your very positive response to the teacher’s dance video, we are glad you enjoyed it. Particular thanks to Mrs Lawton for organising the whole thing. As the school closure continues with little sign of…

Dear Parent/Carer, Thank you to all the keyworker parents who have made provision for their children over the Easter holiday period. This means that school does not need to be open for provision during this period and teachers can follow government advice to stay at home. Free school meal provision will end for the Easter…
