  • Dear Parents and Carers, Firstly, we hope you are all safe and well after last night. Following Storm Goretti, we are aware that many homes locally have been without power overnight and that there has been damage to local infrastructure, including power outages and transport disruption across the area. This morning, members of our team are attending school to carry out full safety checks and assess the condition of the site. We are also reviewing whether all members of staff are able to travel in safely. As a result: * Breakfast Club is cancelled today. Any payments made will be refunded. * As a precaution, the school opening will be delayed. We will confirm opening times as soon as possible. Please continue to check ClassDojo for further updates. Our priority, as always, is the safety of our children, staff, and wider community. Thank you for your understanding and continued support. Further communication will follow as soon as possible.

  • !! School closing at 2pm !! Due to the weather conditions and the amber weather warning, the local authority have advised all schools and education settings to close at 2pm. The CELT executive leadership team have asked that all CELT schools follow this guidance so we will all be closing at 2pm. Schools received this notification just before 12pm today. Please collect your child/children from school between 1pm and 2pm. All after school clubs and wraparound provision will be cancelled today. We apologise for any inconvenience caused.
