School Reopening to all students – Monday 27th January 2025

Dear parents and carers,

I write to confirm that we will be reopening to all students on Monday 27th January. We are currently recovering and rebuilding systems following the cyber-attack on school last Friday.  I would like to thank everyone for their patience and understanding at this difficult time.

We are in a position to welcome all students back to school on Monday and students will follow their usual timetables.

Please be aware that our email system has been offline for one week.  By the end of today, the email system will be working again but we ask for your patience as staff spend time, catching up and responding to messages sent. 

I remind you that our key source of communication continues to be Parent Pay, the school website and social media.  The Edulink app is currently not working but as soon as systems are available again, we will let you know. 

The phone systems in school are not currently available and so the number to use is 0330 043 9883.

To support students with the usual routines when they return on Monday, calls will be made home for any students required to attend a detention after school until 4pm, to make parents aware and we will inform you when the app is available once more.

We look forward to welcoming all students back to school and ask for your support in ensuring that children have the correct uniform and equipment.  Please also send your child in with a bottle of water. 

May I thank you again for your support and we will provide further updates next week as we continue to recover from this situation.

Regards,

Rachel Hudson

Headteacher
