Supporting your child at home

Children are able to exchange their reading books every Monday, Wednesday and Friday and should try and read at home every evening.  Spellings and a home learning activity will be sent home on a Friday.  The activities should be completed throughout the week and returned the following Friday.

In the event of school closure...

On rare occasions, it may be necessary to close the school. This may be due to adverse weather conditions or perhaps when essential school services cannot be provided –e.g. heating, plumbing or water.  

Please refer to the School’s Bad Weather Policy on our website for information regarding how we communicate a school closure. 

Class teachers will then initiate home school learning activities, and these will be available to children by 10am of the same morning.
