Updates from Mrs Norden

We have reached the end of a complex term, which has stretched us organisationally but shown the incredible teamwork of the school staff.  It has also been a term which has seen a return to some previous systems and opportunities for learning, which had been absent during the previous 18 months.  These have brought joy and deepening engagement in children's learning, which has been wonderful to see.  Take a look through our previous news articles and galleries to explore all that has been happening.

Our Covid case numbers have reduced this week with fewer positive cases, which we hope is an indication that plans for the Easter holiday will be able to stay in place for as many of our families as possible.  

Today sees changes nationally to Covid systems, from which we will receive guidance from the DfE and the LA.  Once we have this we will update you on our safety measures and information relating to illnesses and absence expectations. Until we receive the updates all our present measures will remain in place for the start of the summer term. 

We hope that the Easter holiday brings you some rest, sunshine and enjoyable family time.  We look forward to seeing you all in the summer term, with a return to even more of our annual events.
