Building Work Update

 September 2017

Thank you for bearing with us last term. It was challenging for  everyone. We are starting our second term in the 'Village', as we are calling the porta-cabins on the field. We expect to be using them until Easter 2018 when the main KS2 building should be handed back. We have been told that handover should be 23rd March. Its a provisional date but we are looking forward to it!

Over the summer we lost the use of the staff room and its still out of action. Hopefully we will have it back in the second week and even more usefully we might have the kitchen working again by the end of September, so there is a chance of hot meals again! T

he hall will remain out of action until March which means we have no inside space for PE. You will need outdoor PE kit every week as we will be using the playground and nearby sports hall. Assemblies for the whole school will be at Sacred Heart's Church hall on Friday afternoons but we will need to be sensible when we have bad weather. The walk to the church and back will mean children being soaked on wet days so you will have to check our text service to make sure we don't cancel.

The disruption to school will continue but we are very grateful to all those who have helped us, especially Colne Primet Academy who housed us for three weeks, Father Chris at Sacred Heart for the use of the Church Hall for a weekly assembly and Colne Park High for kitchen space to make sandwiches!

Yours faithfully
