Dear Parents and Carers,
We are already halfway through January and it has been a busy but settled start to the spring term. Hopefully we have seen the back of the potential risks of snow. If however, we did have a time where it was forecast and it did snow, we would follow our ‘Extreme Weather’ protocol below:
Extreme Weather
Whenever extreme weather is a possibility, there are procedures in place, should it be necessary to make the decision to close the school. Closure of the school would only be made in extreme weather conditions and where the majority of staff are unable to get to work.
The decision to close the school is a serious one. The main consideration will always be the health and safety of the children and staff. Parents and carers should be aware that all schools are different and can be affected in different ways.
Of course, every effort will be made to ensure the school is open. However, if the weather deteriorates significantly and we experience heavy snow fall/flooding, we ask all parents/carers to check the following:
- the school website “Home Page” for regular updates
- mobile phone/computer for an e-mail via MCAS/Class Dojo
Well done to the children from Year One who excitedly came to show me their amazing writing this week. They were so pleased and proud of their presentation and also their use of vocabulary and rightly so!
Have a smashing weekend everyone!
Best wishes,
Mr Braund
Request for swim kit
If you have any swimming costumes or swimming trunks and towels that are no longer needed at home and you are willing to donate, they would be greatly received by the school for those occasions that children forget their kit. We are particularly looking for ages 9 years and above please.
