• Booster sessions starting Wednesday 21st April

  Tue 13 Apr 2021

  Dear Parent/Carer,

  Booster Sessions (Year 1 to Year 6)

  Before Easter the children had a period of 3 weeks in which to settle back into school, to enjoy spending time with their friends and to get used to being back in school and following the daily routines again. Their teachers have also now been able to assess each child's progress and it is inevitable that there are some gaps in the children's learning. To address these gaps and to support our recovery from the impacts of lockdown, we will be re-starting the booster sessions which proved very successful and popular during the Autumn term.

   

  These booster sessions will run in the same way as they did in the Autumn term, on WEDNESDAYS and FRIDAYS starting from Wednesday 21^st April 2021. Each session will run for 30 minutes before your child's normal school start time on these days:

   

  	Mon		Tues		Wed		Thurs		Fri
  Year Group	Start	Finish	Start	Finish	Start	Finish	Start	Finish	Start	Finish
  Year 1	9am	3pm	9am	3pm	8.30am	3pm	9am	3pm	8.30am	3pm
  Year 2	8.55am	2.55pm	8.55am	2.55pm	8.25am	2.55pm	9am	2.55pm	8.25am	2.55pm
  Year 3	9.05am	3.05pm	9.05am	3.05pm	8.35am	3.05pm	9.05am	3.05pm	8.35am	3.05pm
  Year 4	9.10am	3.10pm	9.10am	3.10pm	8.40am	3.10pm	9.10am	3.10pm	8.40am	3.10pm
  Year 5	8.50am	2.50pm	8.50am	2.50pm	8.20am	2.50pm	8.50am	2.50pm	8.20am	2.50pm
  Year 6	8.45am	2.45pm	8.45am	2.45pm	8.15am	2.45pm	8.45am	2.45pm	8.15am	2.45pm

   

  The times highlighted are our earlier booster session start times, please ensure that your child attends regularly to benefit from these targeted sessions. It is essential that children are ready to go into school at the exact start time; late comers will have to wait for the normal start time so that booster lessons are not interrupted. 

   

  If your child doesn't attend these sessions, they should arrive for their normal start time and staff will collect the children at the appropriate time.

   

  Yours sincerely,

  Mrs Clare Grainger-Roystone

  Headteacher

• SCHOOL CLOSURE FRIDAY 15TH JANUARY

  Thu 14 Jan 2021
  Dear Parents, school will unfortunately be CLOSED tomorrow Friday 15th January for all pupils. We have taken this difficult decision on the grounds of the health and safety of staff and pupils and due to continued snowfall, expected sub zero temperatures, difficult travel conditions, our current reliance on the external provision of meals and maintaining site safety. Online learning is available for all children in Reception to Year 6 but please make time to enjoy the snow too if you can!! :) Stay safe everyone, we will see you on Monday.
