• Sports Day Cancelled - Friday

  Wed 08 Jul 2026

  Due to the forecast of very hot weather, we have taken the decision to cancel Sports Day on Friday.

  The health, safety and wellbeing of our pupils, staff and visitors is our priority, and the expected temperatures mean it would not be safe to hold the event.

  Unfortunately, Sports Day will not be rearranged. With similarly high temperatures forecast for the final week of term, we are unable to identify a suitable alternative date.

  Thank you for your understanding and continued support.

• Water Safety Statement

  Tue 23 Jun 2026

  During periods of hot weather, the risk of drowning can increase in children and young people. The Water Safety Code is intended to raise awareness and educate children in water safety and lifesaving skills. Please ensure that you speak to your child(ren) about the potential dangers of swimming, especially without supervision and in areas without lifeguards.
