Posted on: 29/01/2021A message from the Assistant Head Small School's Hub - Joanne CrockerIt has not been the easiest start to term with many of the children returning to remote education, but I would like to say a huge thank you to every member of staff, who with their incredible commitment to the children, have slipped seamlessly into remote education. It has been wonderful to see that without exception every one of our fabulous children has shown positive engagement in the Zoom sessions, in the work set, or by their relentless positivity in school. We appreciate the hard work and dedication that so many of you are putting into your children's remote education and we recognise that this is no easy challenge. There will be days where things seem overwhelming and we would urge you on those days to do what makes you and your children happy. Mental health and wellbeing is far more important than completing every piece of work in the classroom. As a school we are here to support you the best way we can so please do get in touch if you have any questions or concerns. Finally, we would like to wish Lindsay every happiness in her retirement and as soon as we are able to, we will say a proper goodbye.

Posted on: 21/01/2021Cancellation of INSET Day - 25th January 2021Cancellation of INSET Day Monday 25th January 2021 Dear Parents and Carers, Towards the end of the Autumn Term, the DfE announced that schools could take an additional Inset Day allowing staff to plan, prepare and assess, and to provide some rest time after a rather fraught term. With less than one week’s notice, this was suggested to take place on the 18th December. We did not believe that this was sufficient notice for teachers or for pupils and so an Inset day was scheduled by the Trust for Monday 25th January. This was advertised in our December Newsletter. With the country in another National Lockdown and schools opening for the Key worker children in our community, we do not feel it is appropriate for the Inset Day to remain. We feel it is a moral obligation to remain open so that we can support Key Worker families in the national effort against Covid 19. This means that school will still be setting remote learning and the school will be operating as currently normal - whatever normal is! Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to get in contact. Yours faithfully, Tim HarnettCategories: 1 CategorySchool News
Posted on: 14/01/2021Lindsay Gabriel, Executive Head of School retiresDear Parents and Carers, I am sad to announce that Lindsay Gabriel has decided that now is the time for her to retire. Lindsay has worked in school leadership for 15 years and has contributed a huge amount to the profession. She has spent almost 2 years leading TRLP's Small Schools' Hub and in this time has brought the 3 schools together as an effective team enabling significant improvements in the teaching and learning for all students. She is a kind, caring leader who has supported her staff team during the unprecedented circumstances which have been thrust upon us over much of the year. I am sure you would like to join me to thank Lindsay for her contribution to the schools and wish her a safe, healthy and happy retirement. Yours faithfully, Suzanne Flack CEOCategories: 1 CategorySchool News
Posted on: 18/12/2020A message from the Headteacher - Ms GabrielA message from Lindsay Gabriel I would like to close this busy term by wishing you and all your families a happy healthy Christmas. Thank you for all your support in what has been a difficult year as we have tried our very best to navigate new ways to continue with as many of the ‘normal’ traditions that Christmas brings to our schools. We couldn’t get out to see the pantomime but we were not to be defeated and the children enjoyed watching ‘Robin Hood and His Socially Distanced Men’ online in school. I should also like to extend a huge thank you to all our staff who have gone above and beyond to make this busy festive period as much fun as possible for all the children. They have worked so hard and now deserve a well-earned break. Wishing you all a Merry Christmas and a happy, healthy new year. Lindsay Categories: 1 CategorySchool News
