Thank you...

Thank you for your support over the last couple of days during the snow.

It was not an easy decision to close the school as we realised we would inconvenience many of you. However, our first duty to your children is their safety. Some of you who phoned on Monday morning were already reporting how dangerous your journey was and several members of staff were unable to come into work because they live long distances away and roads were blocked or dangerous.



We kept our answerphone and website up-to-date with the latest information and we also kept Radio Solent informed.

We decided to stay closed on Tuesday because we suspected the worst about the morning’s weather and we wanted to make sure you had time to make arrangements if necessary. As it happened, the weather during rush hour was worse on Tuesday than it had been on Monday.

All parents we spoke to directly supported our decision.

Apparently, we only get that much snow every 18 years, so that could be the last time your children get to play in the snow as a child! I hope you were able to make the most of it as families!

(And Oscar says “thank you” for all the pictures of snowmen!! See below…!)
