Autumn 2025 Information
10/09/25 - Lockdown drills
As part of our ongoing commitment to safeguarding and ensuring the safety of everyone in our school community, all staff recently took part in a practice lockdown drill after school hours.
Over the coming weeks, we will be working sympathetically and sensitively with pupils on a class-by-class basis to help them understand what to do in the unlikely event of a lockdown. These sessions will be carefully designed to avoid causing any distress, but your child may wish to talk to you about what they’ve learned. Letter home to follw shortly

Thank you to all those who shared their views last term about the proposed redesignation of our school. All your responses have been sent to the local authority as part of the consultation process.
The next step is that local authority will meet to discuss the proposal and we should find out their decision early next year. We will continue to keep you updated.
