We have been warmly welcomed into the Trust, who have already provided significant support and guidance.

We are only open to vulnerable children and children with parents that are key workers. Please do not send your child to school if they have the classic symptoms of the virus, they need to be isolated for 14 days. If one of your family has the symptoms, Government advice is that all household members must stay at home and not leave the house for 14 days. The 14-day period starts from the day when the first person in the house became ill.

Thank you for your support and cooperation

The whole school had a wonderful day at Beamish Open Air Museum.
Adventurers had a victorian lesson in the school house, whilst piglets class visited the 1950’s and investigated all the old toys.
We also had the opportunity to visit the dentist, garage, bank, printer and not forgetting the Sweetie Shop!
