Good afternoon,

I would like to take this opportunity to thank all our parents, carers and families for your understanding, flexibility and support this week following the earlier finish on Wednesday and the subsequent school closure on Thursday and Friday.

The decision to close the school was not taken lightly and involved careful consideration of a range of factors. We fully appreciate the disruption that these changes may have caused to family routines and childcare arrangements. However, as always, our priority is the safety, wellbeing and best interests of our children and staff.

We recognise that such decisions can be challenging but we are incredibly grateful for the patience, kindness and support shown by our school community throughout the week. Your understanding has been greatly appreciated and is a reflection of the strong partnership we share in ensuring the very best for our children.

Thank you once again for your continued support. We look forward to welcoming everyone back on Monday and returning to our usual routines as soon as possible.

Mr M Fletcher - Headteacher

• Through the Kellogg's Football Camps promotion, families can claim a free day at camp by purchasing a promotional pack of Kellogg's cereal and redeeming the code found inside the pack.

Please find attached the information regarding taking holidays during the school term. This guidance is provided to school from the Local Authority. We will keep this item on the newsletter as a standing item and as a reminder to all families.

I would like to remind families that if they are choosing to take a holiday during term time that they ensure that they notify school that they are absent with the genuine reason for absence. It is important that we know this for safeguarding matters.

Kind Regards,

Mr M Fletcher

Our school expectation is that pupils will read 5 times per week.

This is monitored by staff in school and at the end of each half term, pupils who have consistently read will be rewarded for their tremendous effort.

If any parents require support getting logged into 'Boom Reader' can access this each Wednesday morning at the start of the school day.

Thanks,

Mrs Roberts
