Dear all
A warm welcome back - hope you all had a wonderful time off.
The weather certainly tried to give us a challenge this week! Just to let you all know that it is the very last resort if I have to close the school. The decision to close schools is not one that is taken lightly. I see on social media that plenty of people who have nothing to do with education have strong opinions on what schools should and shouldn’t do. I campaign hard to keep my school open in whatever circumstances should safety allow. We, as a staff, share that belief.
I see the phrase “Snow Day” and it really makes me bristle as there is no such thing. I know my stance is probably not what the children want to hear! Especially in the snow! So I am glad I didn’t have to put any thought into this, this week.
As a result, we have had a settled first week here at school . Lots to look forward to this term for the children.
As ever, if there is anything you need to discuss, then please do not hesitate to contact us at the school.
Have a great weekend
