Firstly, I would like to express my huge gratitude to everyone who has shown their support for the school over the past couple of days. The 'virtual hug' as I am now calling it has helped me, my staff and everyone working at the school to keep going in the face of such a devastating incident.

The Trust and school are working together and I am pleased to report that plans are progressing well and we will be in the situation to be able to communicate fully to you on Friday so you and your children will know what to expect when we see you on Tuesday next week.

Due to fire damage, we do not have phones at the moment so please don't call the school. We will let you know via email and on the website, once everything is back in place. We are trying to respond to emails as soon as we can but please continue to be patient with us as we concentrate on getting ready for next week.

Until then please enjoy your week and I will be in touch on Friday.

With kind regards,

Jo Keeble
