Well, it’s been quite the start to the year. COVID continues to play havoc with attendance but we’re glad that the majority of our staff have now returned. Our staff have been fantastic and without such dedication we would not have been able to stay open. We are still seeing pupils testing positive and we thank you in helping us contain the spread.
There is plenty happening, in and out of school, as we see restrictions lifted and we are excited to see events across the authority reenter the diary.
Have a great weekend!

2. NSPCC Wear Green Day
On Friday 4th February, we will again take part in the NSPCC Number day. Children can add an accessory of green to their school uniform as we take part in the annual event with a variety of maths activities. Donations will be very welcome and payable via Parent Pay.
The money you raise could support Childline, the confidential helpline for children, whatever difficulty they’re facing. Or it could support services reach more schools with the Speak out. Stay safe. programme – giving children the knowledge and confidence to speak out about anything that’s worrying them, including abuse, so they can get the help they need. |
