Schools will be closing their doors on Friday 20^th March due to the national pandemic. Our children are always our priority.

*For Free School Meals students, lunches can be collected between 12-12:30 from the Y2-6 gate. Lunch includes: a sandwich, a drink, fruit and a pudding.*

Child care is ONLY available to key workers, NOT every parent.

If you are unsure whether your occupation qualifies you as a key worker, please tick the other box and school will get back to you asap. However,  this may be over the weekend, as school prepares rotas of staff fit to work and preparation for those children allowed into school from Monday.

If you think you are eligible (a key worker) for your child to remain in school, please follow this link <HERE>

These are difficult times and we thank you for your continued support and understanding.
