• SCHOOL IS CLOSED TODAY - Thursday 1st March

  Thu 01 Mar 2018 Mr Wallis

  School closed today - Thursday 1st March

  With huge apologies, after much consideration, we have regretfully decided to close school today, Thursday 1st March 2018 on health and safety grounds.

  The school site is currently unsafe for both pupils and staff and weather conditions are not expected to improve today - further snowfall is expected early in the morning along with high winds and freezing temperatures. The roads approaching school are increasingly hazardous. 

  We apologise for the inconvenience that this will cause. We will also rearrange World Book Day and will be in contact separately. 

  Thank you again for your understanding and support. 

• Snowy Walkley - School is open

  Wed 28 Feb 2018 Mr Wallis
  It's snowy, so please take care on the roads and paths around school. School is open as usual.

  Dear parents, if you weren't lucky enough to see the violin performance of our Y4s and Y5 Pathways group this afternoon, you missed a real treat. Congratulations to you all, it was a very accomplished performance. Thanks to David from the Music Hub for all your work.

  The Y6s have arrived safe, sound and happy at Castleton and have enjoyed a few outdoor activities in the picturesque snow covered surroundings. It's fairly warm in the sun but they're ready for a warm up inside! All the children are settled in their rooms and beds are made ready for a peaceful night!

  Dear parents, carers

   

  Due to the school being closed to children on Friday 16th February, we have organised for the delivery of the Junk Food Project market items to be available Tuesday morning from 8:30am. As usual, our Y5s will be organising and selling the items on the stall. Please remember to give what you think the items are worth to support the venture.

• Change to Golden Assembly Next Week - Thursday 15th Feb

  Fri 09 Feb 2018 Mr Wallis

  Dear parents and carers

   

  Due to the school being closed to children on Friday 16th February for a Curriculum Training Day, the EYFS/KS1 Golden Assembly will now be held on Thursday 15th February at its usual time of 9:10am and will be followed by the drop-in for grown-ups.

   

  Unfortunately, on Thursday, the KS2 hall is in use throughout the day for the whole school Chinese Dance Day Celebrations, so there will be no KS2 assembly on that day.

   

  Many thanks for the magnificent support of your children evident through your attendance at the Golden Assemblies.

• New developments in the Forest School

  Tue 06 Feb 2018 Mr Wallis
  Mr Butler has once again been busy at work in the Forest School creating a Den for the children to use in their Secret Garden. He has also been creating furniture for the Den from the wood saved from a nearby felled tree. The Den looks amazing Mr Butler. Thanks you!

  

• Local Historians visit Walkley to study Headteacher Logs

  Mon 05 Feb 2018 Mr Wallis

  It was lovely to see local Walkley historians in school to take photos of the fabulous Headteacher Logs and Punishment Records of yesteryear. From its beginnings at Cundy Street Chapel Schoolroom in 1873 with just 35 scholars followed by the opening of the Boys and Girls Departments of Walkley Board School in 1874/75, Walkley has some wonderful original documents handed down over the past 145 years.

   

  We look forward to continue working with our local historians in the near future.
