School will be open tomorrow (Thursday 8th January 2026) for TYOP, FS2, Year 1 and Year 2. Thank you for your support and understanding around this. We look forward to seeing the children tomorrow. The school will be nice and warm for them. Please note that unfortunately we are not able to open FS1 (Nursery) tomorrow as the heating is still not functioning in this area of the school as it should do. Many thanks for your support.

Partial closure on Wednesday 7th January 2026:
We are very sorry for this inconvenience but unfortunately the school will continue to be closed tomorrow for The Two Year Old Provision, FS1 (Nursery), FS2 (Reception), Year 1 and Year 2 due to the problems we are experiencing with the heating system. The engineer has been on site today but has been unable to solve the problem resulting in the need for this partial closure. We will of course keep you updated and please be assured we are doing everything possible to enable us to open the school again. KS2 (Year 3, Year 4, Year 5 and Year 6) will remain open as normal as will breakfast club for KS2 children only. Thank you for your ongoing support and understanding at this difficult time.

Partial School Closure - TYOP, FS1, FS2, Year 1 and Year 2 As some of you are already aware, our heating has not been working properly since this morning. Whilst we are doing everything to ensure this problem is rectified as soon as possible, we feel the classrooms are too cold for the children to work in all day. Therefore we are kindly requesting that you collect your child from 11.15 am at your usual pick up and drop off gates. If there is no possibility of collecting your child early please contact the school office to discuss. We are very sorry about this inconvenience, we thought that the heating would be repaired by now. As always, thank you for your support and will update later today regarding tomorrow.
