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 

 

Our Story- Making a Difference Together

November 4, 2022 09:14am

A man and his son were walking along the beach late one evening as the tide was going out.  The beach was strewn with starfish that had been washed up by the stormy seas earlier in the day.  The young boy stopped walking and, to the dismay of his father, started picking up the starfish and throwing them back into the sea. 

His father who was keen to keep moving said, “Why are you doing that, son?”  The young boy replied that he was returning the starfish to the sea where they belonged.  The boy’s father looked at him and said, “But there are too many of them and you will never make a difference.”  Whereupon the boy picked up one final starfish and placed it into the sea and said, “Well, I made a difference to that one.”

Together we will make a difference; supporting, encouraging and inspiring everyone to be: successful learners, responsible citizens and happy, confident individuals.
