Final Reminder Notice

Hi all,

The forecast is not looking good for Wednesday. The rain is supposed to clear in the afternoon so we may hold them at school until it does. If it doesn’t we may have to stay in the school hall the night (we did this 3 years ago) and trek in on Thursday. We will try our best to keep to schedules but will put children’s safety first in all decision making. We will make a decision on Wednesday morning so come to school prepared to go. Any decisions to delay the start we will post on the school website and sports blog. Please check children’s jackets are waterproof as most activities can be still carried out with light rain or showers.
