 Snow survey
Thank you for filling in the survey about our communication about the School's closure due to the snow.
The majority of feedback was very positive and I would like to thank you for your support. There was a common theme in some comments from parents which I would like to try and clarify:
St Winifred's School was closed in as a result of Health & Safety issues that applied specifically to our School site. The pantomime trip was able to go ahead because the Nuffield Theatre felt that their site was safe and the performance could go on. Only three teaching staff were able to make it to the theatre (on foot) so without the help of parents who attended the performance, no one would have been able to go unless escorted by their own parents.
I understand that the School's closure will have been difficult for some parents, but I have to consider the welfare of pupils and staff, and the circumstances gave me no option but to close the school.
The weather conditions where exceptional and hopefully now the thaw has set in we have seen the last of the really cold weather for this year. |

GO Ride |
 At St Winifred's we are always keen to offer our pupils a wide range of education and experiences.
This includes cycling, road safety, the environment and healthy living. In the past, the school has tried to run GO Ride courses, but there is always the issue of getting the child's bike to school to allow them to take part. Mr Vernon is keen to run a GO Ride course(s) later in the school year. To alleviate the difficulties of getting a bicycle into, or on top of, a car so that a pupil can take part, I would like to source a number of unwanted/outgrown bicycles that could form a permanent stock that could live in the cycle shed.
If you have any unwanted, unloved, outgrown bicycles that are in need of a good home, ideally that would suit ages of 8 - 11, please would you contact the school office to discuss the possibility of donating them.
The school can arrange transport to collect them. Likewise, if you have any family, or friends, who may be able to help, then we would be pleased to hear from them. I acknowledge that some bikes may require maintenance to get them to a roadworthy condition, but please don't let this put you off contacting the school office.
Ideally we are looking for 10 bicycles to allow courses to be run.
Thank you for your help. |
