Dear Parents and Carers,

Having reviewed safety arrangements for the heatwave we are experiencing which is continuing tomorrow, coupled with higher humidity we will be closing the school to all pupils tomorrow after lunch. This means all pupils must be collected from school at 1:15pm for KS2 and 1:20pm for EYFS and KS1. If you normally collect your Nursery child at 11:30am on a Friday, you can do this as normal.

Over the past few days our attendance has been considerably impacted by the heat and today's attendance is 75%. We know from messages and conversations with parents, they are concerned about the temperatures in school for their children. 

We are really grateful for your support this week and appreciate your understanding in this period of exceptionally hot weather. Despite the continued efforts of staff and pupils to manage the challenging conditions, we are aware these are impacting everyone and the health, safety and wellbeing of our pupils and staff remain our priority.

Whilst children are out of school this afternoon and tomorrow afternoon, they are able to access online programmes to support learning such as Times Table Rockstars and Purple Mash, should you wish them to.

We look forward to school resuming, as normal from Monday, with a week of Sports Days to look forward to.

Yours sincerely,

Mr Chamberlain                    Mrs Gray
