• Snow worries!

  Mon 19 Mar 2018

  Thank you for being understanding regarding the circumstances around the severe weather. The school playground and surrounding footpaths were a mass of black ice this morning so, we took the decision to delay opening school to secure the safety of the site. Thanks to lots of hard work, gritt and determination from our school premises team we were able to open safely at 10am. 

  "Three cheers for Mr Rushforth !!!" our wonderful buildings supervisor.

  Please check that we have your most up to date mobile phone number at the school office as our first point of contact will always be our Teachers2Parents text service, to advise you of school closure or delayed opening. Please also check the school website and local radio stations.

  Lets hope that Spring is well and truly on it's way and we have no more 'snow worries' to battle through!

  Many thanks

  Mrs King.

• Monday March 5th

  Sun 04 Mar 2018
  We are planning to open school as normal on Monday March 5th - unless the weather drastically changes. Thank you for your patience and support during the past few days,when the fast changing weather conditions have often made it difficult to make decisions. We appreciate that it is not ideal for school to close and would like to reassure you that we do not take the decision to close lightly. We consider site safety, the number of staff able to travel to school to teach classes, and the surrounding traveling conditions for children and families. Our wonderful buildings and premises staff are working hard to secure the safety of our school site. Please help us to maintain the safety of the children to reinforce the use of paths and treated areas to walk on - we expect there will still be quite a bit of snow around. Enjoy what remains of the snow today! Have fun and take care! See you all tomorrow!

• Online safety

  Thu 15 Feb 2018

  Thank you for helping us to really spread the message regarding staying safe on line. It was wonderful to see so many parents in school helping to ensure we protect our children as much as possible when they are busy on the internet.

  Many of you raised concerns around You Tube and some of the material that your children had access to at home.

  We have put together a brief guide that may help you to filter or block the access that your child has to things on You Tube. many of our concerns around online safety come from the children's use of this and online gaming chat rooms - please be vigilant and guide your children's time online appropriately.

  We would also like to express our thanks to SWFC for including some of our children in their online safety promotion.
