World Book Day

Dear Parents and Carers,

We are excited to announce that we will be celebrating World Book Day on Thursday, 5 March 2026.

World Book Day is a wonderful opportunity to celebrate reading, inspire a love of books and encourage children to explore new stories and authors. To mark the occasion, we would like to give children the option of coming to school dressed as their favourite book character. Alternatively, children may come in pyjamas as we will be creating a relaxed, bedtime-story atmosphere to celebrate our love of reading together.

Whether your child chooses to be Harry Potter, Matilda Wormwood, The Gruffalo, Hermione Granger, or any other much-loved character from a book, we encourage creativity and imagination. Costumes can be as simple or as detailed as you like—homemade outfits are absolutely welcome!

Throughout the day, children will take part in a variety of fun activities, including story-sharing sessions, book-themed games, and opportunities to talk about their favourite stories with their friends.

If any parents wish to come into school and share any favourite childhood books with either a class or group of children, you would be most welcome.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact the school office.

Thank you for your continued support. We look forward to seeing all the wonderful costumes and celebrating the joy of reading together!

Kind regards,

Mrs Evans and Mrs Brotherhood

Storm Goretti

Dear parents and carers,

We have received notification from the Local Authority that they will not be operating school transport tomorrow (Friday 9th January) due to the likely disruption caused by Storm Goretti.

With this in mind, we wish to notify parents that there is a strong possibility that the school will not be able to open either. The decision to close the school is never taken lightly and will only be taken to ensure the safety of all members of our school community.

We will notify parents at the earliest opportunity if the decision to close is made (no later than 7am tomorrow).

Teachers will provide online learning resources if children are able to complete (we do appreciate that this is not always possible). A link will be sent in the morning if needed.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
