You can either visit before school starts from 8:30 am or after school until 3:50. Alternatively, information about how to order has been emailed out to parents and carers. We earn commission from the sales which enables us to buy more books for school.

We will be celebrating World Book Day with lots of book related activities today.
Please visit: www.worldbookday.com/ to see all that's going on there too. Have fun!

Government Announcement Update:
Following the government announcement tonight at 8pm, the whole school will remain closed tomorrow to all pupils. Apologies for the short notice.

Nursery will reopen on Wednesday morning from 8:45 am to 3:30 pm as normal. There will no before and after-school club for Nursery pupils until February half term.

For parents of children in Reception to Year 4 who are key workers and are unable to work from home, if you would like to request a childcare place in school from Wednesday, please email the school office by 11am tomorrow morning with a copy of your work ID and your working days/hours. We will then contact all parents who have requested a key worker place tomorrow afternoon to confirm the arrangements and timings from Wednesday onwards.

We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause but hopefully you will all appreciate the very short notice we have been given by the government on this.

Home learning will be placed on Seesaw tomorrow morning for pupils in all year groups. We will be in contact again tomorrow once we have more information to share with you.

Thank you for your co-operation and continued support and understanding in this difficult time.
