Whether it’s finding fun things for children to do, paying for extra childcare, or even just all that extra food they seem to eat, the school holidays can be a struggle for many families.  This Summer our Fun and Food programme is providing fun activities with healthy food for children and young people. Activities are provided by range of partners including schools, voluntary and community sector groups and sport and leisure services.

For information on Fun and Food activities during the Summer holidays check out www.durham.gov.uk/FunAndFood

Also, join our Facebook group https://www.facebook.com/groups/funandfoodcountydurham

We will be adding activities to the list throughout the holidays so please keep checking back to find out more about the fabulous opportunities in our community.

Dear Parents/Carers

As I’m sure you’re aware, the Met Office has issued an amber extreme heat warning for the North East region for Monday and Tuesday next week. As a result of this, please feel free to send children to school in loose, light-coloured clothing (which covers shoulders and tummies) rather than uniform for the last two days of the term. Sun cream, sun hat and water bottle will also be essential. As always, we will monitor the situation closely and keep the children out of the sun where necessary.

Kind regards

Mr W. Kirtley (Headteacher)
