Hello all,
Christmas is now a distant memory and lighter nights are rolling in (however so are the storms!). Its been a challenging half term due to COVID and staff absence but we have made it through to the other end! Our staff have been amazing, wearing lots of different hats to keep everything going.
We are now seeing an increase in events outside of school with pupils now getting more opportunities to attend sport and arts activities. Fingers crossed this only continues to grow. We have also been able to welcome parents back into school for assemblies, possibly 2 years since the last! We hope you’ve enjoyed this little bit of normal…
We close today for half term and will reopen on Monday 28th February.
Stay safe and thanks for your continued support.

This includes being able to travel safely to and from their school/setting as well as visiting and meeting their friends by themselves, using different ways of getting there including walking, cycling or going on a bus. They are exploring different models of Independent Travel Training and would like to capture the views of parents, pupils and staff within schools to inform future commissioning plans.
