• Class 2 visit Derby Museum

  Thu 29 Feb 2024

  Class 2 had a fantastic trip to Derby Museum and Art Gallery today. We encountered a time-travelling Roman, who told us all about his life when Derby was the site of a Roman fort, looked at stone age artefacts and animal remains and even managed a quick glance at the Ancient Egyptian mummies before we had to head home.

   

  We also made some pots, took part in a Roman funeral procession and linked to our science topic by looking at animal skeletons. All in all, a fun and very educational day out!

  

• Cold weather

  Thu 08 Feb 2024

  Dear Parents/carers,
  
   As you will be aware, an amber weather warning has been issued for the wider area. We thought it would be useful to update parents about our planned arrangements in case of bad weather.
  
  It is the aim of our school to remain open during adverse weather conditions, when safe and practically possible. This is dependent on us having enough staff to safely open. We’re continuing to use the safety cameras provided by Derbyshire County Council to monitor weather in the wider area as our staff travel from across the county. (https://apps.derbyshire.gov.uk/applications/traffic-cameras/traffic-cameras.asp)
  
   We are opening school this morning and will continue to monitor the weather (and traffic conditions) and remain in contact with yourselves during the day. In the the event of a school closure the following steps will be taken to notify parents and carers:

   

  • A message will be sent to inform staff, parents and carers via Teachers2Parents and Parentpay.
   • A message will also be displayed on the homepage of our website.
   • The school will contact the School Closure page of the DCC website.
   • We will provide an update via our Facebook page.
  
   Thank you for your continued support. We look forward to welcoming the children into school this morning (wrapped up in coats and hats as it’s very cold!).

   

  Kind regards

   

  Tom Lloyd

  Head of School
