As a school, we know that the holidays may be a difficult time for some families as children can not attend schools, money is expected to go further and those families facing financial hardship can feel alone and isolated.

We are still here to support you during the holidays, even though we may not be seeing you face to face.

At the bottom of this page are some websites you may find useful over the summer holidays.

You can continue to send a email to Mrs Thorn, Head Teacher, or a Class DoJo to your own class teacher but these inboxes will not be monitored as regularly as during term time.
