Unfortunately, due to the extremely high and unsafe temperatures in classrooms, we have had to make the difficult decision to close the school to children on Thursday 25th and Friday 26th June. We anticipate that the weather will return to more manageable temperatures next week and look forward to resuming our normal school arrangements. Thank you for your understanding.

A big thank you to our visiting staff from St Michael's for making the sessions so engaging and inspiring.
