Keep up to date with all the latest news happening in school at the moment.
I am pleased to report that today has gone well despite difficult circumstances. Pupils and staff have been fantastic in their responses. However, police are still in the area and the section of Briar Gate to Derby Road remains closed for access.
To access the campus for home collection please use the Derby Road entrance, Canal Street or alternative open roads.
After-school clubs remain cancelled, with the exception of Panda Club.
The police have visited school to inform us that the incident has been resolved.
Pupil welfare will continue to be monitored throughout the day.
This morning we have had a serious community incident involving the use of police.
All pupils who arrived via Briar Gate or Canal Street were escorted into school by staff and were immediately taken inside. Harrington, Parklands and Wilsthorpe Schools were, and are, working together in a co-ordinated manner to ensure pupil and staff safety and welfare.
Year 6 and Mr Dutton's class have been moved in to the main building so that close supervision can be kept on all pupils and staff.
Access to the campus via Canal Street and Briar Gate is prohibited by order of the police.
We will keep you updated.
Swimming is ON and pupils should report to the pool as usual. I have spoken with the Centre Manager and the issue with heating has been resolved.
All Year 5 pupils should report to the pool as usual.
Everyone at Harrington hopes that you have a fun but restful holiday.
We return to school on Monday 6th January 2020.
It's our final week before we break up for the hoilday.
That means it is Christmas party week - wear uniform to school but bring party clothes in a bag to change for the afternoon. Don't forget to bring your food donation - crisps, biscuits or wrapped cakes.
As part of their topic work, Year 6 will be presenting their Victorian Enterprise event on Thursday 12th December. All classes will get the chance to visit during the afternoon to hear about the learning that has been happening.
Parents are welcome to attend at 3:00 p.m. in the school hall. The event will run until
3:45 p.m
Don't forget it's Christmas jumper day on Friday (13th December).
Please wear school uniform but add a little Christmas spirit by wearing your Christmas jumper to school. If you do not wish to join in, please wear your uniform as usual.
There is no charge for this as school will be making a donation to Save The Children.
