Update 10th May 2020
Following the announcement by the Prime Minister on 10th May, our school will remain open to key worker and vulnerable children only until further notice.

We are currently awaiting detailed guidance as promised by the Government and will act upon this to ensure the safety and security of all pupils, staff and visitors.
