We are delighted to share that we have received our fourth outstanding OFSTED report.  A massive thank you and well done to all our staff, pupils and all stakeholders.

Please see the following letter from our Headteacher regarding COVID-19 and government guidance. 

12.05.2020

I am aware that following the government announcement on Sunday many of you will have lots of queries and unanswered questions.  We are considering options to move forward following half term and will be in contact with you all very shortly.

More information from Detective Sergeant Ian Drummond.

Detective Sergeant Ian Drummond, who is responsible for the management of the Northumbria Police PREVENT team within Special Branch has asked us to share this message in order to help keep our children safe.

In the light of the prime minister’s announcement last night please do not send your child to school unless it is truly your only option.  I know many of you do have family which could care in the short term. Many of my staff and myself are worried and upset about having to be at work with groups of more than 2 people from different families, as the prime minister advised against.  I am very concerned that we are putting your families at serious risk and my staff and their families at serious risk.

OUR CONTINUED SUPPORT

Dear Parents/Carers,                                                                                             

Just because school is closed that doesn’t mean our support will stop. We are more than aware that the forthcoming weeks are going to be challenging for a number of reasons and particularly challenging for some of our children. We are working on ways in which we can support families. 

We have sent/are sending resources home with your children to help them make sense of the current situation and understand that they are unable to come to school.

We have created an online classroom / blog for you and your children to access. Each class teacher will regularly be posting activity ideas, songs, videos etc. You will be able to comment / ask questions and we will do our very best to support you and your child through this. Instructions as to how parents can access this resource are outlined below
