Mrs Price update
Mrs Price is currently absent from school and is home after undergoing tests in hospital. We are confident she will be back to school as soon as she is fully recovered. Mrs Price is in daily contact with school and we are keeping her up to date on school life.
May we all say a little prayer for a speedy recovery. In the meantime Mrs Bibby will be Acting Headteacher while Class 8 will be taught by both Mrs Stannard and Mrs Sonntag, Class 7 will still be taught by Miss Whittle and school will run as normal.
