    As you are aware the staff were back at school tomorrow (Monday) and will be again on Tuesday, getting the school ready for the children's return. We are very much looking forward to welcoming the children from Year 1 to Year 6 on Wednesday with Nursery and Reception following in due course. We hope that you are all excited to return.
