Keep up to date with all the latest news happening in school at the moment.
Work on the water testing for Harrington and Parklands continues to be carried out. We have been assured that all of the results should be with us tomorrow (Monday) and we will continue to chase an outcome as a matter of urgency. Unfortunately, this means that the schools will remain closed tomorrow. We will update you as soon as we have any news and apologise for the inconvenience caused.
As you will be aware both Parklands and Harrington Schools have had to close to due to an issue in accessing water.
Water testing has now been completed at both schools and we are awaiting the test results. As soon as we have them, we will be able to set a date to re-open. This is obviously not what anyone wanted but the matter is out of our control. We are aiming to re-open as soon as we are able to. We apologise for the inconvenience this has caused.
It is with huge regret that I must inform you that the issue has not been fully resolved and we will be closed tomorrow.
We have been seeking some alternative solutions so that we can open on Monday and I shall keep you posted over the next few days through the dojo and school website. I can only apologise.
It is with regret that I must inform you that the issue remains unresolved and we will remain closed. Work will continue tomorrow with the aim to re-open on Friday.
Work for pupils will be posted on the website.
Your patience and understanding is appreciated.
URGENT - school closure
I need to report that we have a problem with accessing the water supply and so are unable to open for pupils and staff tomorrow (Wed 15th Sept).
I apologise for the inconvenience and short notice but I have only just received notification of the problem.
I am meeting with agencies tomorrow and will keep you updated throughout the day via dojo and through the website.
Work will be posted online via the website for pupils to access for the day.
Welcome to all our pupils and their families as we start our new school year, 2021-22.
All classes have settled in well and are quickly learning the new routines. Further information will be sent out to you over the next week.
Look out for the letter to invite you to meet the teacher - a parent meeting where you can learn about what will be happening in the classroom and how the timetable is structured, including PE days.
Stuck for something to do - why not go to Sandiacre Lock Cottages for a story telling day on Sunday 15th August? Story sessions will be held at 11:00, 12:00, 1:30 and 2:30. Children must be accompanied by an appropriate person who will need to stay throughout the session due to the proximity of the canal. Why not also visit the tea room for a cuppa and some cake too?
Here's hoping you are all having a lovely rest and enjoying the summer.
However, September isn't far away. Please ensure you are thinking about getting ready to return to school by making time to check that school uniform still fits, you have a proper school PE kit and your school shoes are not too small! And how are those summer learning activities going?
All pupils return on Friday 3rd September for a fun-filled day of activities to welcome them into their new classes and to start the new school year.
Years 5 and 6 will need to arrive at 8:50 a.m. with Year 4 pupils arriving at 8:55 a.m. Parents will leave pupils at the manned school gates.
Our new Year 3 pupils are asked not to arrive until 9:30 a.m. so that we have time to meet our existing pupils, address any queries and ensure they all enter safely to their new classes. This will give staff time to greet our new children and their families.
From Monday 6th September, Year 3 pupils will arrive at 8:55 a.m. - this will be their normal time to enter.
Home times are 3:15 p.m. for Year 3 and Year 5; with Years 4 and 6 leaving at 3:20 p.m.
Sports Day is cancelled today due to the wet conditions and slippery field conditions. The reserved date for Year 5 is Monday 5th July at 2p.m. Apologies for any inconvenience.
The Year 6 sports day due to run today is cancelled due to the rain and wet, unsafe conditions on the field.
The reserve date is set for Tuesday 6th July at 2p.m.
