School will Reopen as normal on Monday 18th March

Thank you for your patience, support and swift change of operations today and tomorrow. You will be pleased to hear that we will be open again as normal on Monday 18 March 2024. The contractors have been on site since 8am and are working throughout the weekend to carry out remedial works.

The water supply will be back as normal on Monday.

I have a series of meetings with NYC today and will be raising my concerns, yet again, at the age of the building and lack of capital available to upgrade and keep things going. I am sorry that this academic year we have been beset by buildings and flooding issues that have cost us 5 days of school time. I will continue to work hard to fight for more support financially from NYC.

I am, as ever, very grateful for your support and patience.

Thank you.

Enjoy your weekend when it comes, see you all on Monday
