All sorts!

Thursday, November 3rd, 2011

We’ve already made it into another half term-dark mornings and dark nights, Christmas and all!! Which reminds me… please help us at school by reminding your children about being safe in the dark- on the roads and especially at this time of year, when fireworks get thrown. It’s also important to tell them to let you know where they are/who they are with and when they will be home-not to talk to people on their way home/to school that they don’t know.

My 2nd bit is to remind you about some of my nags:

  • No dogs in the school grounds please.
  • Can ALL children wear uniform?

No more nags!

Thank you to parents and family friends who joined in with the Big Draw event in the hall on Tuesday. I am very grateful to Mrs Maxfield for making this happen for you and your children.

Our next training day is on Friday 2nd December. You may also know that there is a planned union strike on Wednesday 30th November? I will let you know quite soon how that might affect our school.

Our plans for bad weather will stay as they were last year. We will try to stay open where possible. I do have to make this decision at 6 o clock in the morning and will try to do the ‘right’ thing. Please listen/go online for news of school closure with Radio Aire or Radio Leeds. The council’s website will have information on it too.

See you all at Parents Evening next Wednesday.

Yours sincerely
Mrs C Hindmarch

Happy New Year and weather

Happy New Year to all.

FOR PARENTS AND VISITORS

Sometimes it is necessary for school to close because of bad weather or other emergencies.

The Headteacher works hard to keep school open wherever possible but if circumstances mean that she has to make a decision to close the school or send children home early, there are various ways of contacting parents.

How we tell you if a school is closed?
Local radio stations play an important part in communications between school and parents. Once the Headteacher has made the decision to close school she will inform the local radio stations and ask them to broadcast a message to parents.

The local radio stations used are:

BBC RADIO LEEDS – 92.4 FM

RADIO AIRE – 96.3 FM

It is also possible to look on:

The RADIO AIRE website and its list of school closures: www.radioaire.co.uk

The Leeds City Council website: www.leeds.gov.uk

TIP: The Education Leeds website usually crashes due to being overloaded, so don’t rely on it! www.educationleeds.co.uk

Christmas weather

Wednesday, December 16th, 2009

We are all hoping for a white Christmas. But if it snows before then, this is what happens if the Head decides to close the school:

Radio Aire and Radio Leeds will read out our school’s name. You could also check Education Leeds to see if our school is on the list of those closed.
