School closed due to snow: Friday 8th January 2010
Dear Parent,
I am very sorry for any inconvenience caused by the closure of the school for the second day, Friday.
After our caretaker inspected the roads and paths early in the morning, he found them to still be dangerous for both parents and children walking into school and members of staff driving in. In fact, conditions are even worse than yesterday, despite huge efforts yesterday, by our caretaker and other workers to make roads and paths passable.
Keep Safe,
Mrs Johnson

School closed due to snow: Thursday 7th January 2010
Dear Parent,
I am very sorry for any inconvenience caused by the closure of the school today, Thursday.
After our caretaker inspected the roads and paths early in the morning, he found them to be even more hazardous than at home-time on Wednesday, when I was very concerned at the conditions, particularly on the road. Having been unable to get any grit or sand in sufficient time to make the surfaces safer, I felt it was wise to close the school on safety grounds, until we could get some work done on roads and paths.
To ensure that we keep access as safe as we possibly can, battling against the forces of nature, we have decided to cancel out of hours activities next week. Hopefully, the following week will be better! We will endeavour to open breakfast club as normal, but please check on school closures, just in case we need to close again. We will make every effort to open but we need to make decisions on a daily basis, when the weather is extreme.
Can I remind you that parents’ cars should not be coming on site? The road surface is the most dangerous one, and we don’t want an accident through skidding/losing control. Likewise, could you walk along the paths, to avoid the compacted, smooth ice of the roads, where falls are more likely.(I have found, like many others, that I feel much safer walking in boots with a good tread, than driving the car, which unfortunately is necessary to get to school, over a distance!)
Can I take the opportunity to commend you on your efforts to get the children to school in this weather – and the staff for managing to get here despite dreadful road conditions, some of whom come as far afield as Sunderland and Darlington. I know it’s not easy.
Information regarding school closures can be obtained by:
Thank you for your understanding. We’ll do all we can to avoid further closure…

Dear Parents
What a week it’s been at school! We had the KS2 Carol Service at church on Tuesday afternoon, where we were joined by members of our school and parish families to celebrate the Christmas Story through words and music, featuring our school choir and soloists with ‘star’ narrators and tableau.
The KS1 performance (‘Naughty, naughty sheep!’) followed on Thursday ,bringing smiles and laughter as well as the focus on the nativity.
The FS performance was magical, as usual, with our youngest children entertaining us and sharing the nativity in its closing scenes.
Thank you all for sharing these occasions with us, and thank you for your generosity—the collections raised £284.30 for Missions Together.
God bless,
Mrs Johnson

Dear Parents
Goodness, it’s that time of year again already… The Advent calendars have been produced and distributed, and the travelling nativities have started their travels! As we go to press, the Christmas Fair is about to happen—busy, lovely times!
The recent fund raising for Children in Need raised a very commendable £178.36. Thank you for your generosity.
God bless,
Mrs Johnson

Dear Parents,
It makes us all very sad that St Peter’s College is to close in 2012, despite valiant efforts from the staff, governors, parents and community. It is all the more sad, when the college has had such success in recent GCSE results!
Our thoughts and prayers are with them.
God bless,
Mrs Johnson
