Reaching high for the best for your child

Gas Leak - Update 1

Friday, 9 February 2018

Due to a confirmed gas leak, the school has closed today.

I can confirm that the gas has now been cut off to the upper building and the site made safe. Ongoing works are being undertaken to rectify the source of the problem as soon as possible, and we anticipate the school reopening after the half term holiday. 

As the children were unable to access the upper building during the evacuation, many of them have left personal belongings behind, such as coats and packed lunch boxes. THE SCHOOL WILL BE PARTLY ACCESSIBLE ON SATURDAY to collect these belongings, BETWEEN 9 and 11am. Please come to the statue gate on the upper site, where staff will be able to help you.

Parents and carers should look at the school website for further updates over the course of next week.

 

I would like to take this opportunity to thank all the parents & carers for all your messages of support and help in collecting the children so promptly! Well done to all the staff, who managed the situation so incredibly smoothly; and well done to the children, who behaved so sensibly throughout our evacuation. 

A special thank you goes to Mr Sharp, our amazing site manager, who detected the leak in the first place. He is truly the Hero of the Day!

Have a restful half term break!
