Please attached latest informaton from Derbyshire County Council around the recent Meningitis outbreak.

At the beginning of the year, we surveyed parents and carers regarding wrap around care provision. 

The consensus was overwhelmingly in support of extending our breakfast club provision and offering an after school wrap around care club. 

I am happy to say that we applied for funding, and were accepted, in order to make this happen. 

From January 2026 (exact date to be confirmed) we will be offering Breakfast Club from 7:45am until 8:35am, and a new Wrap Around Care Club from 3:15pm to 5:15pm.

Breakfast Club will remain at £1 per session, and Wrap Around Care Club at £4 per session. These will be flat rates regardless of the time you come or stay until. These prices are extremely competitive for the level of child care you will receive compared to most other schools and private nurseries in our area, and we have considered the cost to the school and the community we serve. 

Both clubs will be limited to 25 places and will need to be eventually booked through Arbor and paid for in full in advance. 

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact the school.

Our new school prospectus is now live on the website!

If you know of anyone who is seeking a school place, either moving school or looking to start in Nursery or Reception, please encourage them to check it out!

We have recently updated our behaviour policy to include the relational practice training all staff received on our first INSET day in September. 

We believe in a strong emphasis on relationships, underpinned by clear and consistent boundaries and logical consequences. 

Our policy now reflects these beliefs in a clear and concise way. This is not a new approach, but a refinement of what you and your children already know. 

Please take time to read the new policy. 

Thank you

Mr. A Tasker
