We now enter Week 7 of the forced school closure, isolation and lock-down. This new situation is slowly becoming the ‘new normal’, working from home and ensuring social distance measures are in place.
Yet, we are hopeful that soon, we can come back together as a school family. Over the last week, the entire school staff have been creating a video message for our school community with the simple message, ‘We miss you and keep going.’
We’ve used our school song, ‘Just Be You’ which was recorded in the Autumn term and features all our school children, with images from the school staff. We hope you enjoy watching our message to you-we miss you all. Please CLICK HERE to view.
Food Boxes ordered for this week will be delivered to school on Tuesday 5th May 2020 and can be collected from 12.30pm until 3.45pm, tomorrow.
