Thank you all for your co-operation and patience over the last week, I am pleased to report that we are back to normal hours today: start at 8.55 and finish at 3.10. The playground is still not safe at the moment, so play will be indoors.
Basketball and Tiptap clubs will start next week.

Update
We are all back into school, and lessons have resumed as normal. The children are not able to get out to the playground, which is one large sheet of ice at the moment!
We hope to be completely back to normal as of tomorrow, so school will start and end at the normal time.
For today, we are closing at the usual time, but children may be picked up from 2.45 onwards if you need to.
Breakfast & After School Club are provisionally scheduled to re-start tomorrow (Tuesday).
Once again, thanks for your patience during this trying time- let's hope the worst is behind us, and we can get back to life as normal really soon.

Monday morning
Monday 11 January 2010
It's not possible to give you definite news about school opening on Monday 11 January until fairly late on Sunday afternoon.
If the weather doesn't get any worse and we are open...
We will open at 10.00 and expect all children in school. The late opening will be to allow more time for everyone to make a safe journey to school. We will expect all children in school. We need to get back to normal as soon as it is safe.
We will close at the normal time (3.10pm) but allow children to be picked up any time from 2.45pm - this allows a longer "school run" time if Mayfield Road is still icy.
There will not be any breakfast club, or after school clubs (including Film Club & multi-skills).
If the weather gets worse...
If we have to close, we will try to let you know by 6pm on Sunday evening.
We will put an announcement on this website. On Sunday afternoon, we may not be able to get the information updated on the city's School Closures List or Radio Solent.

No School Friday
Once again we are in the difficult position of having to close the school- Mayfield Rd is in a treacherous state, and has been the scene of many minor accidents today- we are just not on the gritting route the council has been maintaining.
I really hope that we will be able to get back to a near normal service next week, but with more snow forecast for the weekend, make sure to watch this space.
Particular thanks to our friends who live opposite the school for keeping me informed of the state of the roads in the area.

Snow
Further update 11.30- Having looked at the forecast for overnight which suggests that temperatures will fall to -6C, we have reluctantly had to decide that we will not be able to open the school tomorrow (Thursday 7th January).
We regret any inconvenience this will undoubtedly cause many of you, but hope that this early notification will enable you to make alternative arrangements more easily.
Watch this space as the situation develops.

Christmas Plays
The festive season is well and truly upon us here in school, and yesterday saw the first of two performances of our plays. The Infants performed a version of "Babushka", a Russian folk tale that describes the Nativity, whilst the Juniors performed a more contemporary piece- 'The Polar Express'.
The children excelled themselves in both plays, and the audience were treated to a really lively and exciting start to the festive season.
Merry Christmas everyone!

Author in School
Last Friday (6th November) was a fantastic day here at school! We were very fortunate to have a real life author in with us for the whole day.
Sandra Horn spent some time in every class, reading from her books and answering the children's questions about her work and being an author. I know that many of the children have been inspired to put pen to paper and start work on their own books. This was a truly inspirational day, and there was great demand for signed copies of Sandra's works at the end of the day.
