What a brilliant idea and cause to honor a beautiful Lady very much missed. She'd have so loved, as she always did, seeing all the Kids come in excited in the morning. Xx
I knew “little Jill “ as we always called her from being born as she lived next door to me and my mother was her godmother . She was one of the first children to have successful heart surgery and this day in her memory would have meant so much to her , thank you xx
Such sad news, Jill was a lovely lady and I'm sure all the Y5/6 parents among us remember her fondly from our little ones starting at the school. Really lovely idea to raise money in her memory!

✨ Safety – A scarf can keep you warm, snug, and safe on a cold day!

As the most recent forecast from the Met Office update is now predicting winds of 80mph and the peak later in the day, there is a significant danger that we could open school this morning but would be dismissing pupils while the winds were at their strongest. At 80mph, this poses a very significant danger to anyone travelling, so we have taken the difficult decision to close school today.
As many other schools and nurseries are closing and some staff will be travelling from areas where the winds are even stronger, we have also taken into consideration that we may not be able to fully staff the school today when making the decision to close.
We are sorry for the inconvenience that this will cause, but our decision has been made to prioritise the health and safety of our pupils.
Teachers will be in contact with work for the children to complete. ... See MoreSee Less
