Below you will find a list of where each current class is moving next year. Pupils will get the chance to spend time with their new teacher on Wednesday 2nd July. We are sad to announce that Mr. Moorhouse will be leaving us at the end of the year to take up a new teaching post at Bronte House (the feeder school for Woodhouse Grove). Along with Mrs Hooton and Mrs Matthews (whose leaving has already been announced), he will be sorely missed.

Sometimes, schools need to make sure everyone knows how to stay safe just in case something unusual happens—for example if there's something outside that could be dangerous. Just like we practise fire drills to know what to do if there's a fire, schools are encouraged to do lockdown practices so children learn how to stay safe in other kinds of emergencies.
We are going to do a lockdown practice on Monday and we are preparing children for this. We are not presenting this as something scary to pupils. We are presenting it as more of a game, just a way to be prepared, like superheroes getting ready for action! The practice will involve pupils having to remain silent for a minute or two and either hiding under their tables or sitting in a quiet group away from windows and doors. I appreciate it is a worrying world where schools have to practise these things but we are encouraged to do so.
We wanted to make you aware in case your child mentioned anything at home and you were concerned.
