Well done to Hedgehog Class! Magic Breakfast! We have managed to secure a partnership with ‘Magic Breakfast’ that will start on our first Monday morning back after the half term holiday. The initiative will enable us to offer free breakfast food to all children in school for the remainder of this academic year. How this will be served is still being discussed… please keep an eye out for more information in the letter which will be sent home next week.

PLEASE NOTE… our current childcare breakfast provision will continue to operate alongside this new initiative.

Unavoidable School Closure Given the weather this week here’s a quick reminder about our procedures in the event that we need to close…

If for any reason the school is unexpectedly closed, parents will be informed in the following ways:

1. Text Message - parents will receive a text informing them of the decision to close school. 2. School Website and Facebook - this will be updated and will have details of any decisions to close / open the school due to adverse weather conditions or other reasons for closure. 3. Radio Stations - please listen to the radio stations listed for further details of school closures:

• BBC Radio 95.5FM, 103.9FM & 104.5FM • ROCK FM 97.4FM • Real Radio (Formerly Century) 105.4FM

Please remember to keep us informed if you change your mobile telephone number to ensure you continue to be able to receive text messages from school. We would greatly appreciate if families could check the above means of communication first and avoid ringing school… thank you.
