Welcome back to school

Dear parents and carers,

Welcome back to school to all of our new and ‘old’ families, children and staff!

There have been some exciting improvements to the premises over the summer—the nursery has been completely refurbished and looks amazing/ the outdoor area has been astro turfed/ we have a new enclosed computer suite/ year 2 classrooms have lovely new carpets and a state-of-the art fire alarm system has been installed.

On the down side, our heating boilers were condemned during the holidays. Luckily, we still have hot water and North Tyneside council will fit a new boiler and are providing a mobile heating unit for us in time for the cooler weather. However, due to necessary asbestos removal, we will have to live with the inconvenience of an area of the yard being cordoned off for a number of weeks but I am confident that we can easily work round this.

Please take a moment to check the diary for the up-and-coming events and I look forward to seeing you all soon. Mrs Bland
