15.01.2026 - School Closure

Due to an issue that Yorkshire Water are experiencing in the local area, we currently have no water in school. As a result, we have made the difficult decision to close as we have no toilet facilities.

Any students on a free school meal will be given the option of a meal before they leave.  

School buses will run at the end of the day as usual should you wish your child to remain here. Any student who gets a PTS taxi will be contacted individually.  Families who are coming to collect in cars will be directed to the large school carpark to support with this.  

Thank you for your support with this. I will send a further update at the end of the day.
