It has been a strange week for all of us I am sure. The passing of the queen has affected us all in different ways, and we are now using the time to reflect on her life as sovereign. In our school, we will be responding to this period of mourning as appropriate for each class and individual student.

The official date for the funeral of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II has been announced as Monday 19th September 2022. This has been declared a bank holiday. As such, along with all schools, we will be closed on that day. 

I know this may be a difficult time for many, however, as a school community we will be there for each other and support everyone the best we can at this time.

Best wishes,

Jon Hewitt
