Inspired by the teachings of Christ, our Mission is to build his kingdom here on earth, at our school of sanctuary, where everyone is welcome. Through Catholic Social Teaching and encompassing our Gospel Virtues, we want everyone to be empowered to turn concern into action, serving our community and beyond, knowing that everyone is made in the image & likeness of Christ.
The UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) has issued a Heat-Health Alert for several regions of England, including, our region. The Met Office is also forecasting a heatwave across much of England, with temperatures expected to exceed 34°C.
Following careful consideration and in light of the severe heat and the forecast for temperatures to continue rising throughout the day today and tomorrow, we have made the difficult decision to close the school tomorrow, Friday 10th July. This decision has not been taken lightly. We fully appreciate the inconvenience that an unexpected school closure can cause for families. However, the health, safety and wellbeing of our children and staff must always remain our highest priority.
We have a legal and moral duty of care to provide a safe environment for all pupils and staff, and we believe that closing the school, is the most responsible course of action given the exceptional weather conditions. Thank you for your support.
