Issue 993: 20th January 2023

We greatly value the positive relationship we have with our neighbours and the wider community.  Please can I remind you to be considerate when parking in the vicinity so as not to restrict access to local residents to and from their driveways.  Please also ensure that you do your very best not to cause congestion and traffic jams at busy times, such as drop-off and pick-up.  Thank you for your ongoing cooperation.

With the return of sub-zero temperatures, please can I remind you of the measures we will take in the unlikely event of snow fall leading to any necessary school closure.  We will, as always, make every effort to keep the school open but always have to consider safety for both pupils and staff, many of whom travel from a distance away.  Should there be a need to close, we will aim to post this on the school website by 7.45 am, at the latest (remember to click the ‘refresh’ button to ensure accessing the latest information).  Local radio stations no longer broadcast this information, but this will also be published on the Essex County website: http://www.essex.gov.uk or simply just search for Essex County Council Emergency School Closures.
