Dear Parents and Carers, 

We are writing to update you about a situation involving a fire at a nearby residential property within the last hour. Please be assured that all children are safe and well. 

The school day is continuing as normal with some small adjustments. 

Collection Options 

If you would like to collect your child early, you are welcome to do so.  

Please note that Wymering Road is currently closed, so vehicle access is limited. We ask that you do not drive up to the school – please walk. Porchester Road is open for access if driving is essential. 

If possible, park safely nearby and walk to the gates next to the school entrance. Staff will be available to assist with collection. Please be mindful, your child may have not collected all their belongings.  

For Children Staying in School 

For those remaining at school, we have planned a range of supervised activities to keep children engaged and comfortable for the rest of the day. 

Normal dismissal will take place at the usual time, unless we advise otherwise. Please be mindful of the above road closure.  

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation. If you have any questions, please contact the school office. 

Kind regards, 
Jack Jones 
Headteacher

Welcome to New Horizons Primary School

Located a stone's throw from the Portsmouth Coast, we are committed to Transforming Life Chances for all our pupils 

Making Learning Irresistible

We believe that primary school education is an experience that all children should enjoy to the full.  We therefore offer a broad and balanced curriculum.  The multi-cultural dimension of our school community is another strength; we celebrate our many diverse backgrounds, helping our children to become positive and responsible citizens. 

We strive to build strong relationships with our parents and we value and encourage their involvement and support.  We have high expectations of what children can do and we work hard, encouraging parents to support us, in order that our pupils can make the best possible progress.
