Important Notice: Temporary Access Changes Due to Storm Amy

Dear Parents and Guardians,

Following the aftermath of Storm Amy, we are implementing safety precautions in certain areas of the school due to damage sustained by several trees.

As a result, the following entrances will be closed until further notice:

  • The pedestrian gate at the lay-by leading down steps to the chapel side of the school.
  • The chapel gate entrance.

The following entrances are open:
  • The Knockwellan entrance remains accessible; however, please be aware that the footpath is still obstructed, so extra care is advised.
  • The main gate and chapel car park entrance are unaffected and can be used as normal.
Please note:
  • All parents/guardians should ensure that they collect their child(ren) at the appropriate collection points.
  • Parents/Guardians/Visitors should not access the area where the Outdoor Classroom is located to wait for pupils. This area is restricted due to storm damage.

We appreciate your understanding and cooperation as we work to ensure the safety of all pupils, staff, and visitors. Further updates will be shared as soon as possible.

Kind regards,

Mrs L Cunning
