Dear Families,

Firstly, I want to thank you for your cooperation and understanding this week regarding the weather conditions and the arrangements we have had to make.

These decisions are never easy. As a school, we have to assess the site, consider health and safety, account for the travel time of staff and students, and evaluate accessibility.

We also rely on external services to clear our vast site, and these services are understandably stretched when it snows.

We have received so much support from families; however, I have found that it is impossible to please everyone whether we decide to close, stay open, or operate for half a day.

We completely appreciate that parents and carers have their own jobs to get to. Please rest assured that we would only decide to close if it was necessary.

Once again, I want to thank you all for your understanding.

A special thank you goes to our students for showing concern for others, being safe, and acting responsibly while walking around the site.

We hope you have a good weekend, and we would like to remind you to ensure that we have your updated contact details in our system.

If your contact numbers or email addresses have changed, please contact the academy to update them

.Best wishes,

Senior Leadership Team
