• Name Changer!

  Tue 24 Sep 2019
  Our wonderful School Council worked with the other pupils and the staff to select new class names. Leah and Drew, in particular, felt that women were unrepresented in the old names, and that the people involved should be more contemporary or relevant to each class. The 7 new names agreed can be seen on the Home page to the right, or on the Classes page. We think we have chosen 7 amazing people with diverse talents and backgrounds. we hope you like our choices.

• Closure Days

  Wed 24 Apr 2019

  As you will know, the old school building has been undergoing a major refurbishment over the course of this year. The plan is to move out of the temporary classrooms at the end of the academic year (in July) and move back in to the school at the start of the new academic year (September). This will give the builders time to finish off the refurbishment, and clear the temporary site over the summer holidays.

  Because of this, Bristol City Council have allocated us additional closure days so that we can pack everything up before the break, and set the school up for the children afterwards. We will combine these with In-service training days, to give us the time we need. Therefore, the new dates for the end of Term 6 this year, and the start of Term 1 next year are as follows:

  • Term 6 2018/19 finishes on Wednesday 17^th July 2019
  • Term 1 2019/20 begins on Thursday 5^th September 2019

  Apologies that we haven’t confirmed these dates until now, but we had to be as sure as we could be that everything was running to time with the refurbishment before we could finalise arrangements.
