School is now closed to the majority of students until further notice.

A copy of the letter issued to parents on the 20th March is available here

Home School Working

At the current time we have provided the following support for distance learning.  If you have any learning related queries please email school [email protected] and it will be passed to the relevant member of staff.  Please ensure you include your name, class and contact details.

Given the short notice of the closure we have had to produce a mixture of learning packs and online resources.  We understand there will be lots of questions regarding the current work provided, but we ask parents to spread the resources over the next 2 weeks until Easter.

Over the next few days we will be reviewing the systems and communication for home learning and will update parents as soon as we can.
