• Housing development update 18/5/23

  Thu 18 May 2023 Mr. Simpson

  Dear parents and carers,

   

  As you know, a large-scale housing development is due to start on the green area opposite school, stretching to beyond Netherley shops.  We know that this will cause many families disruption for the period of building work, which will be up to 2 years, as it will affect pedestrian routes and eventually parking.

   

  Today, workers have started to erect a fence next to the cars parked opposite the school.  I have spoken to the workers, who have said that this will NOT restrict access to the pathways for at least a week, maybe two.  Cars are still able to access the parking areas in the usual way at this time.  Please take extra care.

   

  Kind regards,

   

  Rob Simpson

  Tue 02 May 2023 Mr. Simpson

  Dear Parents and Carers,

• URGENT - Potential school closure due to Health and Safety issue - Tuesday 2nd May 2023

  Mon 01 May 2023 Mr. Simpson

  Dear Parents and Carers,

   

  I am writing to inform you that, as things stand, we are unable to open the school site tomorrow for health and safety reasons.  We currently have no running water at school due to a fault in the boiler room / water system, which occurred on Friday.  So far, we have not been able to have the issue resolved during the bank holiday weekend as expected.  I have informed the Local Authority and taken advice - we are not able to safely open the site until this issue has been resolved and running water is restored.

   

  Please make alternative arrangements for looking after your child(ren) tomorrow.  If contractors can attend later today or very early tomorrow and solve the problem, we will assess the situation and open to the children whose classes were due to be open: Nursery, Reception, Y1, Y2 and Y6.

   

  We are very sorry for any inconvenience that this causes, but clearly have to take the decision to follow H&S guidance for everybody's wellbeing.  I will update you on this matter as soon as possible.

   

  Reminder: due to teacher strike action, Y3, Y4 and Y5 are NOT in school tomorrow, regardless of the safety issue described above.

   

  Yours sincerely,

   

  Mr. R. Simpson

  Head Teacher
