Message from the Headteacher

Dear all, 

There have been some nasty bugs going around. This has led to members of staff being out this week and low attendance. We hope you are managing to stay warm and have access to what you need to keep healthy. Let us know if you need help or advice. Please see the NHS link below.

Can I please ask that all children have a pair of wellington boots to wear for Abbey walk on Fridays. The path can be full of puddles and muddy. Every classroom has a rack to store the boots. 

Have a peaceful weekend, 

Kerry Devane
