Welcome back everyone for the autumn term! School re-opens to pupils on Thursday 3rd September. Tuesday 1st and Wednesday 2nd September are INSET (staff training) days. On Thursday, we look forward to seeing all the children with their smart uniforms and big smiles! 🙂
Having reviewed safety arrangements for the heatwave which is continuing tomorrow, coupled with higher humidity we will be closing the school to all pupils tomorrow after lunch. Therefore all pupils must be collected from school at 1:15pm for KS2 and 1:20pm for EYFS and KS1. 🙏
Brilliant effort today from our Year 4 children at the Chance To Shine Cricket Festival. Despite the short downpours the children looked radiant when they arrived back at school this afternoon!
