On Wednesday the Choir the visited the Over 60's club at Eckington Civic Centre. They sang some Christmas songs and saw Santa where they all received a treat. In addition the Over 60's club have donated £40 to the private school fund which goes a little way to covering the coach costs for our Young Voices trip in January. Thank you to the over 60's club for their kind donation we love singing for you.
School Open as Normal.
Castle Hill is icy and the school has had some snow, but not enough to close (sorry!).
Same story for outlying areas too.
Please be careful on you way to and from school, and whilst on school grounds. Mr Goodwin will do his best to grit and clear, but no all of the snow and ice ca be removed.
Reminder to the children: No snowballing. I know it's tempting and fun, but it's turning into ice, and that's no fun at all.
Thanks all
Mr C.
Snow
The forecast for the weekend involves an 'Amber' snow warning for this area, so keeping you updated is important.
I need to consider both the welfare of the children and that of staff who travel from Sheffield, Chesterfield and surrounding areas. Any decision made will take these factors into consideration.
On Monday morning, possibly Sunday night, I will be speaking to our Site Manager about the access to the school via Castle Hill, the staff about their local situation, the forecast for the coming day and also the headteachers in the area. I will hopefully be able to make a decision based on these factors before 7.30am.
Please keep checking the website and please don't call school - if we are closed, no-one will answer, if we are open, come to school! The lines may also be needed to keep in touch with staff.
Many thanks in advance for your help, cooperation and understanding in this matter.
Mr C.
