This week, and as long as the bad weather and difficult driving conditions persist, we will make an early morning decision as to whether to try to open the school. We will post information on the blog and with radio Derby as to the times of opening and closing and whether children need to bring in a packed lunch.
Tomorrow and Friday, if we can open, we plan to start school at 9.30 and reduce the amount of break times the children are given. We may also ask children who normally have school meals to bring in packed lunches. Even if a decision is made to open and staff set off, there is still a possibility that we will be unable to open if the teachers cannot make it in. However, we plan to open even if even one teacher makes it in to school as long as there is also at least one teaching assistant present in school.
We apologise again for the inconvenience of the school not being open for business as usual but a combination of the weather, the closure of the B5056 and the fact that we no longer have a teacher living in the village has made it particularly difficult this year.
