Tuesday 14th January onwards, by Mrs Minor

Date: 13th Jan 2025 @ 6:47pm

From tomorrow (Tuesday 14th January) we will be back to our normal routine for drop off (8.45am) and collection (3.15pm) using the playground.
However, our ROBINS (Reception/Year 1) will still need to use our main building due to the broken heating in their area. Please drop them off at the playground gate at 8.40am as normal and they will be guided to their classroom by staff. They will need to be collected at home time via our porch area on the main playground, where staff will see them out once a parent/carer has arrived.
Thank you.

Date: 8th Jan 2025 @ 2:28pm

09.1.25 & 10.01.25 UPDATE
We have come to a decision about the plan for the rest of the week based on current information and discussions with the relevant authorities this afternoon.  Due to the predicted freezing conditions tonight and tomorrow night and in the early hours of Thursday and Friday we aim to be open however, with a delayed start and other adjustments to ensure safety for all. This will apply to both Thursday and Friday.
School will open from 10am and the register will be kept open until 10.30am.  Please come through the main office entrance as today and not the playground. 
There will be no breakfast or after school clubs on both Thursday & Friday this week.
Children will also not be going swimming this week due to them needing to walk there safely.
There will  be no celebration assembly on Friday.
The collection point and times at the end of the day will be the same as today:
3pm – Robins (Rec/Y1) to be collected via the main office exit.  Any of the Robins older siblings will also be able for collection then too.
3.05pm – Wrens (Y1/2) to be collected via the main office exit and siblings as above.
3.10pm – Goldfinches (Y3/4) to be collected via the main office exit and siblings as above.
3.15pm – Starlings (Y4/5) & Owls (Y6) to be collected via the main office exit. Children who walk home without an adult will also leave via this exit. 
We will however keep you updated of any further changes if they arrive.  As always, our main priority is keeping our children, families and staff safe. 
Thank you for your support.

URGENT. Due to the icy conditions in and around school we are delaying our start today and reviewing possible closure.

There will be no breakfast or after school clubs including sports. An update will be given at 8.30am. Thank you.
