School is open tomorrow – our septic system repairs have been completed

Thank you for your understanding today as we worked through this tricky situation. The volumes of rain over the last few days meant our system became flooded with rainwater, causing a pump to fail. 

We look forward to seeing you all tomorrow.

School closed for Easter Tuesday

Dear Parents

The Easter holiday dates vary from year to year and are determined by the moon. Easter usually falls within the school holidays and this can catch us out when it happens within the term.

Easter Holiday dates for 2021:
Good Friday: 2 April
Easter Monday: 5 April
Easter Tuesday: 6 April

Please be aware that the Tuesday after Easter Monday is a school holiday but not a statutory holiday, meaning that schools have to be shut while everyone else goes back to work.

The rule to close schools on Easter Tuesday was first introduced in 1954. It’s unclear exactly why it was introduced, but the holiday has remained in place and is part of the Education Act legislation.

I wish to highlight this to you to ensure you have plans in place for next Tuesday when school will be closed.

Have a safe and happy Easter.
