Posted on: 7/01/2021SCHOOL CLOSURES DUE TO SEVERE WEATHER GUIDANCEWith snow or severe weather likely over the next few days/weeks, I would like to remind parents/carers of the procedure to close the school if it becomes necessary as a last resort. The decision to close a school due to snow or severe weather is the responsibility of the Head Teacher, in consultation with the Chair of Governors. In taking this decision the Head Teacher will consider the following: Health and Safety Will remaining open constitute a significant risk to pupils and/or staff? Availability of staff Has the severe weather meant that a significant number of staff have been unable to attend making it impossible to open? The first priority will always be to ensure the health, safety and wellbeing of staff, pupils, parents and visitors to the site. Where practical, an alternative to closure will be to open an hour or so later in order to enable staff and children to have additional time to travel to school safely. Once the decision to close the school has been made or if there is a delay to the start of the school day, parents will receive a text and a notification will be posted on Class Dojo, Facebook and the school website. We will also contact BBC Radio Leicester (104.9 FM).

Posted on: 3/10/2020IMPORTANT: Confirmed Case of COVID-19IMPORTANT: We have been advised by Public Health England that there has been a confirmed case of COVID-19 within the school. This only affects pupils and staff in the mainstream Year 6 bubble (not Y6 MLD Unit) who have received separate guidance. Important information has been sent out to all parents/carers and is also available from Class Dojo.
Posted on: 23/09/2020Letter for parents about COVID-19 symptomsPublic Health England have produced a letter for schools to distribute to parents which explains when a person requires a coronavirus test and what the symptoms of coronavirus are. The intention of the letter is to help prevent children being taken out of school unnecessarily and answer some of the questions parents may have around testing. Please see Class Dojo to download the letter.

Posted on: 7/07/2020School Meals - Price IncreaseThe price of a school meal will increase to £2.20 per child as from the start of the new academic year. This is the first price increase since 2014 but still represents excellent value for money and is still cheaper than school meals offered by Leicestershire County Council School Food Support Service.
