Due to the current weather conditions, a decision will be made by 7.30am tomorrow as to whether the school will be open/closed/partially open/delayed start. We will also advise with regards to the church service. The safety of our children, staff and school community is paramount

We have made the decision to delay opening this morning in order to make the school site safe. At present we plan to open at 10:30am. There will be no Breakfast Club and today’s church service is cancelled.

Update 09.10am Due to the roads in to Collinswood Drive and surrounding areas being treacherous, we have made the decision to close the school to keep everybody safe.

School will be open as usual this morning. Please take care making your way to school.
