Dear all

I wondered if is anyone in our school community that had the capacity to do donate a bit of time and carry out a small job in return for a cuppa and piece of cake, rather than paying extortioonate builders prices! We have some paving slabs as wall toppers, and they need resetting with cement. There are approximately half a dozen to do. School will provide all materials. If you might be of assistance, it would be very much appreciated. Please speak to Mrs Hibbert if you think you might be able to help.

Many thanks.

Good afternoon

Following a discussion this morning with the Health and Safety team from Calderdale, they have strongly advised, with immediate effect, that the car park gates will be permanently closed at the beginning and end of the day, and no vehicular access will be available via the car park at drop off and pick up, even for cars with blue badges. This follows yet another near miss in the car park this week and it is not something we cannot continue to facilitate, knowing there is a Health and Safety risk to pedestrians walking on or off the premises. Unfortunately, some cars are simply not giving the due care and attention required and so we have no option but to make this decision.

For blue badge holders, we ask that you park safely, as close to school as possible. If you require further adaptations due to mobility concerns, please let us know and we can arrange for a member of staff to bring your child to and from the pedestrian gate if necessary.

Again, I am sorry to be having to make this decisiom, but I would much rather make an unpopular decision than carry on placing pedestrians at risk from cars on the premises.

Kind regards

Miss Embleton

Next week is Mental Health Awareness Week. This year's theme is 'Community'. We are thinking about which communities we belong to: our family, school, church, perhaps a football or gymnastics club, the community of Sowerby Bridge, and how those communities support us.

 To celebrate this, we will hold a 'Wear it Green Day' on Friday, May 16th.  Don't buy something new; green socks, a green ribbon in your hair, wear anything green! A green pin badge will be given to each child to show our awareness and support of mental health.

 Thank you 

Mrs Hirst
