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 

 

Children quiz our Head of School about his job, life and interests

May 19, 2023 10:50am

Children at New Horizons Primary School have quizzed their Head of School to learn more about his job, hobbies and interests. 

The quizzing comes after more than 100 days of Mr. Jones as our Head of School at New Horizons Primary School.

Some of the questions asked were:

  • Why did you decide to come to New Horizons Primary School? 
  • If you were an animal, what would you be and why?
  • What do you do in your office?
  • If you had a superpower, what would it be? 
  • What's your favourite thing about being our Head of School?
  • Did you have a favourite subject at school? 

The focus was to help children and families learn more about the person behind the job, and it has been well received across the school community. Watch it below:
