Dear Parents and Carers,
It seems that the weather forecasters got it wrong yesterday. Please be advised that in the event we do have extreme weather conditions we will ensure the school blog, which can be accessed via the school website and the Facebook page are updated so you know if school is going to be closed by 6.30 am at the latest.
During this cold spell please make sure that pupils are dressed accordingly for the weather with coats, hats, scarves, gloves and suitable, sturdy shoes. Not all classrooms have walls.
