Upcoming Building Work - A message from Mr. Marsh

During this half term, building work will begin on the extension of the admin/staff block. This
work will take ten weeks and is due to begin on Monday, 18th January. During this time there will be no access through the small gate at the front of school. Walker’s Way and the gate on the Church Drive will be open as usual. A compound will be built on the playground by the trail. This will be self-contained, allowing work to progress without impacting on the safety of everyone in school. The main entrance and reception office will be open as normal throughout most of the work.

Because there will be far more children walking down the Church Drive I would appeal to parents not to bring their cars down the drive thus ensuring the safety of all children and parents. This should be observed at all times of the day.

I appreciate that there will be some inconvenience during this time but the safety of our children is our priority. The situation will be in place until the end of term.

I would like to thank you in advance for your cooperation.

D. Marsh
Headteacher

School Choir on Bury Market

Picture taken following St. Andrew's School Choir appearing at Bury Market on 5th December. The 50-strong school choir sang several carols on the Market to the enjoyment of local Christmas shoppers. Many parents came along to watch. At the end of the hour the children each enjoyed a cone of chips donated by the market chip shop. They were also given a Lucky Bag from the Market office.

Birds of Prey at St. Andrew's

We were visited by the Welsh Birds of Prey Centre from Pembroke. There were 9 birds of prey in total - including an eagle, 2 owls, a kestrel, a buzzard etc. The whole school saw the birds and some children were chosen to hold the owl.
