Important Updates
School closure
Having carried out a risk assessment of the situation in the school, we are currently unable to remain open due to a substantial reduction in staff capacity across all departments eg. lack of first aiders as well as teaching staff.
We are grateful for the understanding shown by families that have made alternative arrangements for their children.The school will be closed from 26th March and on into the Easter holidays (6th – 17th April).
We cannot say what will happen after that date as the national shutdown may continue. We will keep you up to date with any new information we get from the authorities via the school website.
If you are a critical worker and have recently been informed that your childcare provider in Newham has closed, please contact Kirsty.reed@newham.gov.uk to share your urgent childcare requirements. For Children’s Centre updates please click here CC COVID-19 .
