Headteacher blog 10th March 2023

A snowy week! These sorts of weeks are always a bit stressful but can be good fun too! I am glad we stayed open but we only had 40-50% attendance across the school.  Almost all the teachers got in, but some staff couldn’t make it – sometimes due to their own childcare issues.  Most schools in Leeds did close and that decision is not taken lightly. I have only closed the school for a snow day once in 19 years and regretted it an hour or two later as the conditions which were appalling at 8am cleared by mid-morning! Well done and thank you to everyone who made a great effort to be here today, including staff that walked in from Horsforth, Bramley, Thornbury and Calverley. Things would be simpler if everyone lived, worked and went to school in their own locality.

Here are some photos of Y1-6 enjoying the snow today (2 separate galleries):

  Thank you to all the teachers for making the effort to be there. My girls had a fabulous day and didn’t feel like they’d missed out on a ‘snow day’ at all.
