Dangerous Parking

Thousands of people view irresponsible parking on the Moor Hall Road Safety Facebook page. Dangerous parking poses a serious risk to our children, our families and our neighbours. THINK before you park.

Expansion Update September 2018

I am pleased to be able to give you an update on the expansion works at school.

Main Block Expansion
I’m delighted to let you know that the main expansion of the school is progressing well and is due for completion by May 2019.  During the holidays scaffolding was put up and work undertaken to the kitchen extension.  The far end of the school hall was signed over to us and is now in use as a lovely new temporary classroom.  The modern, wooden external design will be replicated on the new block.

EYFS and Main Office Extension
Our reception children are already using the new exciting classrooms and we are hoping that the new extension to this area will be fully opened by early next week.  The wonderful outdoor area will be used by the EYFS children next week and final completion of this will take place over the October half term.

The new office/main entrance is progressing well and is a major improvement in the security of the site. Again, we hope this work will be completed during October half term.

Moorhens
The full expansion means that we are able to make improvements to our Moorhens provision.  Once the new block is handed over, Moorhens will have direct access to a quiet zone (our new library), a technology zone, an outdoor zone and the two chalets.  This is exciting because it will increase options for children who go to our extended school’s facility and means that Moorhens will be able to grow safely in a self-contained area of the school.

Playing Fields
The school playing field will ultimately return to a full grass area once Balfour Beatty leave the site.  The area which is presently used for Balfour’s vehicles and deliveries will return to grass.  We are now looking at ways that we can use the wildlife area for outdoor learning. 

Kind regards,
Andrew Steggall

School Council

Today we held the first meeting of the School Council for the academic year 2018/19.

The councillors have been elected by the children in each class and will meet twice a month with Mr Winter to make sure  the pupils' voice is heard in the running of our school.
The first topic under discussion is ' what is a healthy break time snack' . We will consider the type of snacks  the children should  be eating at break time.
