  Hello Visitor,

Grendon Outdoor Education Centre

I received an email this morning from the Local Authority, advising the school that Grendon Hall will cease to operate as an Outdoor Education Centre from March 20th 2019. NCC made the decision to withdraw the necessary subsidies that would have enabled the Outdoor Education Centre to continue to operate. 

Over recent years and on more than one occasion, the school has engaged with NCC to explore ways in which it could support the ongoing operation of Grendon Hall as an educational setting but the sad fact is that retaining Grendon Hall as an educational asset is a low priority for NCC, hence today's announcement.

As the Outdoor Education Centre is ceasing to operate beyond 20th March, the June residential will not take place at Grendon Hall. The school is busy looking at alternatives and will advise parents when and if an alternative is found.

NHS Guidance

The link below provides guidance for parents on common illnesses and ailments and what you should do if your child is affected.

Recently, there have been a small number of cases of vomiting in school and NHS guidance states that children should not return to school until at least 48 hours after the last bout of sickness. To help the school mitigate the spread of illness, please observe the 48 rule. Many thanks in anticipation of your support.

Collective Worship

Pine Class led Collective Worship in church this afternoon, supported by Rev Amanda. They taught us all about the important dates within the church year, read prayers and sang a song. The children are becoming fantastic worship leaders and I'm already looking forward to the next service!

Open Afternoon

Open Afternoon was as busy as always - it was great to see so many parents and relatives sharing the children's achievements from the latest Global Curriculum themes. Children will return after half term to their new projects and exciting learning environments - the classrooms are being stripped and dismantled as I type...
