LAST DAY 22 JULY - COLLECT ALL PUPILS AT 1.30PM
Please note the government has released (on 7 July) additional statutory legislation on the number of school days for the year 2020-2021. We are not changing our school year published pattern as we think this will make life difficult for parents at short notice. As we had already published a close time of 1.30pm on the last day we have made this a 'hard' close time meaning ALL pupils MUST be picked up at this time. The afternoon is now an INSET afternoon for staff.
EVERYTHING COVID...
...what to do if symptoms, track and trace, family contacts & bubble start times, FAQs, pupils' video message
Update: 17.40- 18th July 2021 - Regularly undertake a full refresh to get most up to date page.
As we approach the end of term...
With the increasing number of cases nationally and locally, it is vital that we remain vigilant against the spread of COVID. Although the relaxation of restrictions approaches, we ask that you continue to follow our guidance in order to stop bubbles having to be closed. Please ensure you arrive on time to drop off and collect your childre, please wear a mask on and around site (unless you are exempt on medical grounds), please avoid congregating in groups outside the school site and most of all if your child us unwell we ask that you check their temperature or if possible complete an LFD test.
This will help protect our whole school community and keep our classes open until the end of term.
Thank you for your patience and continuing support at this time.

World Book Day 2021 - making it great wherever you are...
The Masked Reader Competition and more for World Book Day
Below are some great activities to get you 'bookish'. In case you are wondering - no costumes this year (phew!)
Tomorrow we will be joining in with the celebrations for World Book Day - a day for sharing our love of books and the extraordinary adventures that stories can take us on. Across our whole school, we will be sharing a fantastic book called 'Perfectly Norman', which encourages everyone to celebrate and love their uniqueness, rather than trying to hide it away. A range of fun activities that are linked to the story have been planned, as well as the keenly awaited 'Masked Readers' quiz! Will you gue
ss who's behind the mask?
Teachers will be sharing Perfectly Norman and the Masked Reader quiz with their class during live lessons, but to make sure parents can enjoy sharing the fun with their children, we have put links to the story, the Masked Reader quiz and the Pick 'n' Mix afternoon activities below. You will also find a link to the World Book Day £1 Book Token which can be printed off at home (paper copies will be sent out when all children return to school on Monday). These can be exchanged in participating books shops for one of the World Book Day books.
Please make sure you share any photos that you take during the day, either using your child's Google Class stream or on Tapestry or you can Tweet them on parents’ Twitter Accounts with the hashtag #smcepslovereading

INSET Day Change in 2022 & Exciting Training
On 4 January 2022 we are delighted to be hosting Andy Wolfe, the national Deputy Chief Education Officer for the Church of England to inspire our teaching team. We are running the event for five other Church of England primary schools in Warrington in the 'Grace Hub'. As a result we are swapping the INSET Day from 1 July to this date. He have avoided changing the other holiday dates.
Our revised Term dates for 2021-2022 are published here:
