February 2013

You might have noticed that our building is undergoing a few repairs in the last few weeks the old infants building Year 1 and Year 2 has had a new roof and extra insulation to help keep the building warm and save money on heating bills, the exterior walls have been repointed and repaired. This week the admin block and main entrance has had it's roof and insulation replaced and the exterior walls repaired. In the next few weeks the Key Stage 2 building and Reception outdoor area will be getting some essential repairs to the foundations, walls and roof. Thank you for putting up with the disruption whilst the work is carried out.

Please keep your children safe and remind them to stay away from building sites.

- Scarf

- Gloves

Please make sure any items of clothing are marked with your child's name.
