We have been advised by SLC that all schools and nurseries will remain closed tomorrow (Thursday 1st March) owing to the Red Weather Warning issued this afternoon. We will post any further updates to our Twitter page and the school website as we receive them. We hope all families are keeping nice and warm and having fun in the snow!

Our planned World Book Day celebrations for tomorrow are postponed and will be rescheduled for another day next week (TBC). We know a lot of effort has gone into costumes and the Homework Challenge and we will look forward to seeing and celebrating the children’s hard work next week!
