Well done to everyone for battling the arctic conditions to get to school on Wednesday. However as conditions deteriorated it became clear that for safety reasons we would need to close on Thursday and Friday. Thank you to everyone for their support and co-operation this week during the closure. It is not a decision that is taken lightly. and we do try to do as much as we can to keep our schools open for the children. However a large number of our staff drive in from quite a distance away and must ensure that we have sufficient staff to pupil ratios. We appreciate how difficult this is for working parents and we hope that you had enough time to make alternative arrangements. Thank you once again for your continued support. We fully expect the situation to improve by Monday so we can carry on as normal next week.

Friday 2nd March - SCHOOL CLOSED
Dear Parents
This post is to confirm the shorter message put out on the Facebook page earlier today. We are sorry to inform you that we will be closed tomorrow. We do not expect the conditions at school to have improved sufficiently for the school to be safe, the risk to staff and pupils to be worthwhile or the effort to make the journey for parents to be reasonable.
We fully expect the situation will have improved so that we can open on Monday as normal. We will keep you updated over the weekend.
We appreciate that this is very difficult for working parents. By making the decision earlier today we hope to have given you sufficient time to make alternative arrangements.
Thank you for your understanding and we will hope to see you on Monday.
Please share this post with any other families that you know.
