Dear Parents and Carers,
I hope you enjoyed the half term break.
I have exciting news regarding the next phase of our playground project. Work is due to begin on Monday 18th March and will eventually look similar to the artist’s impression below. The children will be able to take part in den building and various other ‘Forest Schools’ type activities. The construction will take a couple of weeks to complete but our entrances and play areas will remain fully functional. Once again, I would like to thank you for all your fundraising efforts; this would not be possible without your support. Thanks also to Mrs Swinbank for all her hard work on the project.

As a result of worrying comments from some of our children, I posted an urgent safeguarding message on the school website earlier this week. If you have not already done so, please take the time to read it this weekend.
Have a lovely weekend.
Yours sincerely,
Mrs A Whistler
Headteacher
