Happy New Year and welcome back! We hope that you have enjoyed some rest and relaxation over the festive break and have been able to spend time with friends and family.<\/p>\n

Pupils have hit the ground running on their return to school this week, getting back into the rhythm of school life and learning – the Spring Term is now underway!<\/p>\n

Thank you to parents and carers for ensuring that pupils have come back to school on time and ready and prepared to learn. The weather, however, has certainly not been on our side so please do ensure your child has a coat to wear on their way to and from school. We also remind pupils, parents, and carers that \u2018hoodies\u2019 are not permitted in school and therefore pupils should not be wearing them when they come onto the school site.<\/p>\n

Please note that the dates of forthcoming events can be found on the calendar<\/a> published on our website, The school will be closed to pupils on Friday 26 January 2024 as this is an INSET Day (a common closure day across several schools in Fareham and Gosport).<\/p>\n
