Today we had a surprise visit from Pudsey Bear! 

Pudsey visited Cygnets class and Peacocks. All the children loved seeing him. 

Thank you to everyone who has donated. All donations have been collected by Asda who helped Pudsey find his way to us. 

A big thank you to Gosport Asda Community Champion Rachel and of course Pudsey too!

Peacocks will be closed to all pupils on 2nd March 2023.  Woodpeckers will be closed from 11.45am to all pupils.

Please refer to the information sent via Arbor and on the Hampshire Emergency School Closures webpage. 

All other classes remain open and therefore those children must attend school. 

(Partial Closure) - Merlins class will be closed and parents of children in this class have been contacted via Arbor.  Hampshire's Emergency School closures webpage reflects this. Those eligible for FSM have been contacted and parcel will be available for collection tomorrow. Please refer to the communication sent today.

 

Currently, all other classes are fully open and children in these classes are expected to be in attendance. Further updates, if required, will be issued ASAP tomorrow. Please keep checking.

Dear Parents and Carers

 

Industrial Action – NEU

 

As has been reported in the media and press, the members of the National Education Union are taking industrial action on 1st February 2023. Members of the NEU employed by Hampshire County Council and who work in our school may therefore decide to take strike action on that date.

 

Whilst we will endeavour to remain open and operating as safely as normal, we will communicate any further updates to you in a timely manner. However, I need to advise you that this may not be until the day itself as staff legally do not need to disclose their intentions before the day of Industrial Action. Therefore, parents need to be prepared for any class closures. A decision to strike is never taken without long and hard consideration.

 

Please remember, that the Industrial Action is not an action aimed at school but a National strike aimed at the Government in response to the levels of frustration as a result of the prolonged underfunding of schools and the local community.

 

Any notification of closure or partial closure will be sent to all parents via Arbor, placed on our website and on the Hampshire County Council emergency closure website: https://www.hants.gov.uk/schoolclosures

 

Other dates currently planned for industrial action include:

 

Thursday 02 March 2023

Wednesday 15 March 2023

Thursday 16 March 2023

 

We appreciate you support at this time.
