Dear Parents and Carers,

We are going to open school at 10am today. Please use the entrance at the front of school by the old nursery gate. Mrs Dowding will be there to meet you. Class arrangements may be different today depending on which staff are able to make it into work. Mrs Wiggins will be cooking lunch as usual. 

Please be very careful when parking and walking around the village as paths are likely to be very slippery this morning. The playground will be out of action all day so collection will be via the main entrance at 3.15pm. Please use this entrance to come into school to collect your child from their classroom later. 

Your child will need a change of shoes, preferably wellingtons or boots to change into if we go out onto the field at lunchtime. 

The school bus is not running this morning, but we will update you later about the homeward run. 

As I said last night, please only make the journey to school if you feel it is safe to do so. Local reports are saying that you can get through Baslow but routes over the tops are still snowy and icy this morning. 

We will keep an eye on the weather forecast as further snow showers are predicted in some areas later on today and will let you know via email and text should we need to close school early. Hopefully, not!

Many thanks,

Mrs E Bond
