Hello everyone,

Mary-Lou, Hannah and Pat have very kindly created an Open the Book worship video for us and I hope you enjoy listening to the story ‘Jesus and the Children’.


It’s sad us not being able to worship together in school but remember we are thinking of all of you at home and we hope you are all keeping safe and well.

Love Mrs Johnson and staff x

Key worker provision 29.05.20

Hello everyone,

I hope you’ve had a good week and enjoyed the beautiful sunshine!

If you need key worker provision next week, and you haven’t already contacted me, please can you email me by 6:00 pm on Saturday evening so that I can organise staffing. If your child has been attending every day, or if your child is in Year 1 and they have been attending  Wednesday to Friday each week, there is no need to contact me as your child is already booked in.

Key worker children should still be brought to the Hall door next week (from 8:00 am onwards) and the provision is still running until 4:30 pm. Please can we ask that children are collected no later than 4:30 pm, as staff are not available after this time, Thank you.

We have seen an increase in requests for key worker places over the last week. Therefore, if you know you are going to need a key worker place for your child next week onwards, it is vital that you contact me as soon as possible.

Please remember our letter last week set out what our plans may look like and there is every possibility that these may change. We are awaiting our COVID-19 Re-opening Risk Assessment to be approved by the Local Authority and we are not permitted to invite more children back into school until this is in place.

Thank you in advance for your support.

Stay safe

Hello everyone,

I hope you are all still keeping safe and well.

To allow staff to prepare for a phased return for some year groups, school will not be open over the half term period so there will be no provision for Key Workers’ children. Please see a letter below with more detail.

We will be sending out more information later this week, explaining our current plans for a phased return, so please keep an eye on the website / your emails.

Thank you for your continued support.

*Update 15th May 2020*

Dear families

Firstly, I just want to say thank you for the swift response to our parent survey for those with children in Nursery, Reception, Year 1 and Year 6.  We appreciate and fully understand the comments and concerns raised and these will be considered as part of our planning for a phased re-opening.

At present, we are awaiting further information from the Local Authority who in turn are awaiting clarification on a range of issues from the Department for Education.  As soon as we have more information, we will let you know which groups of children we are able to invite back into school first and when this will start to take place. In the meantime, we thank you for your patience and understanding.

Finally, thank you for all the photos you have been sending through to class teachers. It is so lovely to see what children are doing and know that you are all safe. I’ve got a photo to share with you this week. Yesterday morning Coco starting barking crazily outside and, when we looked through the window, this is what we saw…how beautiful!

We have no idea how they got into our garden or where they came from!

Take care
