Dear Parents and Carers,

 

Starting on Wednesday 1^st July the school will be undergoing some repair work to some of the drains. The work will begin in the Reception and Nursery play area. This means that our current one-way system for entering the school grounds and dropping off the children will be unable to operate. With this in mind we have had to put in place some temporary changes to the current system. All drop off and pick up times remain the same.

 

Nursery:  Come in from the main front entrance (not the Nursery gates) as normal. Turn right across the front of school (in front of Year Two and Year One) and turn into the undercover area by the nearest shutter. Drop off your child as normal and exit via the other marked Nursery shutter.

 

Reception: Come in from the main front entrance (not the Nursery gates) as normal. Turn right across the front of school (in front of Year Two and Year One) and turn into the undercover area by the nearest shutter and go to Reception door. Drop off your child as normal and exit via the other marked Nursery shutter.

 

Year One Pods: Continue to drop off and pick up your child in the same way.

 

Key Worker Provision in the hall and Year Four classroom (Year 2,3,4 & 5 children): Come in through the usual gate and follow the path. Drop off your child at the main gates to playground where a member of staff will be there to receive the children. Exit through the car park. The same routine will be used at home time, when a member of staff will bring the children in the pods to the main playground gate and dismiss them back into your care.

 

Year Six Pods in Year Six and Year Five classrooms: Come in through the usual gate and follow the path. Drop off your child at the main gates to playground where a member of staff will be there to receive the children. Exit through the car park. The same routine will be used at home time, when a member of staff will bring the children in the pods to the main playground gate and dismiss them back into your care.

 

We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause, but unfortunately the date of the work is out of our control. We will keep you updated with any further changes or when the work is completed and we can return to the original routines. Thank you for your understanding.

 

Yours sincerely,

 

 

 

Mrs S Thomson

Headteacher

Calling all Year 6 children. Please see our Invitation to Year 6 under

Children - Class Pages - Year 6 - Announcements.

Thanks you 

Good morning. We wanted to notify parents about an initiative that will launch on The One Show this evening (Thursday, 25th June 7pm – BBC1).

‘As You Write It – Your Play on Stage’ is a national young person’s play-writing competition that has been organised by The Shakespeare North Playhouse and The One Show.

This initiative has been months in the making and is a really exciting opportunity that will allow more people to hear about the Playhouse as it continues to be built in Prescot.

Importantly, the competition is a chance to engage our children and young people in a creative activity that we hope will spark imaginations and potentially a lifelong interest in the theatre, arts and culture.

All the competition details will be shared on the programme and will be available on the BBC website after the show.

It would be wonderful if any of our children could enter – even maybe win it! Get your thinking caps on children and good luck!

Good afternoon. We were hoping to start refunding parents for our cancelled residential trips today. Sadly we cannot now start this until the middle to end of next week due to complications at Parentpay that we were unaware of. We will refund these just as soon as we possibly are able.

We truly apologise for this but it is completely out of our control. We thank you for your continued patience while we are sorting this.

Good afternoon. As the weather has become very hot and sunny we have been asked to share with parents a reminder of some Do's and Don'ts of keeping you and your children safe in the current heatwave, Please see below the Met Office Level 3 Heat-Health Alert from today. Thank you
