If you have a SEND child, or know someone who does, there is lots of useful information there on what's going on in Lancashire.

The school leaver children in Hedgehogs MTW have had a lovely time on our winter walk today in Towneley.  We are so glad we wrapped up warm, it was definitely winter weather!  If your child is on the walk later this week, please dress them up warmly :)

Given the weather today, please take note that if we do need to close the school, this will be notified in a range of ways:

• On this school website
• On our Facebook page
• On our school Twitter feed
• On 2BR https://www.2br.co.uk/schools/school-closures/
• On Lancashire County Council's website http://www3.lancashire.gov.uk/education/school_closures/index.asp

Please do not rely on getting a text immediately, as the system can take time to access at peak times like this :)

We try to remain open if we can, but safety for our children and staff is our priority.  Most of the staff live some way away from school and this can mean that we might close if we cannot get enough staff into school to run safely.

Please be aware that Kingsland Road is very slippery for driving. Please park on the main roads and walk up to avoid getting stuck. Many thanks,

Julie Cooper came to see us on 26th January.  She had a look around and admired our Sensory Garden.  Then she had a chat with Faith about funding difficulties facing the Maintained Nursery Schools, before meeting some of the children and staff.  She has written a letter on the behalf of the Maintained Nursery Schools to the new Children's Minister, Nadhim Zahawi.  There is a copy in the cloakroom on the parent's board.
