For Your Information
The summer holidays will finally be here at 215pm on Tuesday 23rd July and hopefully the sun will make an extended appearance too!
 
There are lots of things available to families throughout the summer and we have displayed this information on the noticeboards in the alleyway between the main gates to both sites. We have listed activities to do, cheap or free places for children to eat and information about courses happening for families supporting children with additional needs. Don't forget to take a photo when you are collecting your child at the end of the day!
 
We are aware that the holidays are not always easy as normal routine and everyday life is suddenly changed (and that's for children too, not just us adults!). If you are finding it challenging, then please visit our website page which lists the support agencies available: Signposts to support home adults
 
We hope you all have an enjoyable break and can't wait to see you back on Wednesday 4th September for another exciting year ahead!

Headteacher Timeline

The school started originally as two separate schools, each on their own site with their own headteacher. They were then amalgamated in 1982 to create a two-form entry primary school with one headteacher working across two sites. The school was then expanded again to three forms of entry in September 2012, following the building of extra blocks of classrooms.

Can you help us fill in any of the gaps? Please get in touch if you can!
