New Playground Markings
Thu 17 Sep 2020Our school playground has received a much-needed makeover recently and we must give our thanks to last year’s Year 6 parents for their generous donation. Thanks also to NFU Mutual for providing us with a grant, designed to help keep children more active during the pandemic.
At the start of the lockdown period, with the keyworker children in school, we invited children to bring scooters in to the school for different periods of the day. The invitation was widely accepted and it was a joy to see the children active and playing together, regardless of their ages.
To have the opportunity to repeat this invitation for all children, and have them use a purpose-built track is something that we are incredibly grateful for and we can’t wait to see all of our year groups zipping around the ‘roads’ in the coming months.

Notice to variation of Admissions policy
Thu 03 Sep 2020Dear Parents,
I would like to inform you that due to the impact of COVID-19 the diocese are varying the admissions policy for the school in the faith criteria aspect. Normally parents who have attended church for at least 6 months could apply to the school on a faith grounds. As Churches have been closed for a significant amount of time the wording of this has been changed.
The wording has been changed to:
“In the event that during the period specified for attendance at worship the church [has been closed for public worship and has not provided alternative premises for that worship, the requirements of these [admissions] arrangements in relation to attendance will only apply to the period when the church or alternative premises have been available for public worship.”
Thank you for your understanding.
Mr B-M
