School Closure - Update
Read MoreDear Families,
First of all, apologies for the late communication this morning, unfortunately we were trying to do our best to assess the situation and get the school open in a safe way. It became apparent that this was not going to be possible due to the burst water main which led to us having no running water in the school and issues with the gas supply. As you will appreciate this meant that we were unable to flush toilets, wash hands and have water to cook meals.

Read MoreDear Parents and Carers,
You may be aware that rates of COVID-19 in Wirral seem to be very slowly decreasing. However, they are still very high and local schools are still experiencing COVID-19 outbreaks. As we are also in the Winter season, viruses other than COVID will be circulating, so local schools will face a huge challenge in attempting to reduce the risk of infections spreading.
