Important Notice - Remote Learning/Learning at Home.

Your children must be learning at home during the national lockdown. This should be using either school supplied work packs or an electronic device and following online lessons set by the class teacher. We are preparing devices to be distributed to those families in need. We will be contacting you when they are ready and  available. Please click here to read an important letter from Mrs Roach and the school governors to understand our responsibilities with regards to your children’s education during these very difficult times.

Unfortunately the school’s heating system has completely broken down. Parts have been ordered, but won’t arrive until Friday. We are closing the school until the end of the week, and hopefully the heating system will be repaired for Monday the 1st of February. Please keep an eye on the website on Friday/over the weekend for updates. Our apologies, this is beyond our control.

Computers for vulnerable and  disadvantaged children.

Dear parents and guardians, despite the government insisting that they are providing computers for pupils to use at home; as a school of 460 pupils we have only been allocated 14 laptops.

These laptops are meant to be provided to pupils from years 3-6. Can parents and guardians please stop calling and visiting the school asking for a free computer. We are in the process of working out how they are to be issued.
