• PARENT GOVERNOR

  Tue 10 Oct 2023

  Congratulations to Richard Crossfield who has been elected as our new parent governor.

   

   It was a very close vote and, on behalf of the Gawber Governing Body, I would like to thank both Richard and Jo Froggatt for standing.

   

  I would also like to thank all those parents who took the time to vote. It is extremely positive to have so many parents take an active interest in the strategic management of our school.

   

  Kindest regards

• ADVERSE WEATHER CONDITIONS

  Thu 09 Mar 2023

  Dear parents/ carers

   

  We have made the decision to postpone today's parents' evening until next week.

   

  School is open as usual today. However, the Met Office has issued an amber weather warning for later today, with a risk of 'heavy snowfall and  potentially serious disruption'.

   

   The safety of our children, families and staff is always our first priority.

   

  Although we are not closed at present, it may be advisable to have alternative arrangements  in place for collecting your child/children for if we are forced to close later in the day.

   

  Kind regards

• WORLD BOOK DAY - THURSDAY 2ND MARCH

  Mon 27 Feb 2023

  Following on from last year's success and our whole school focus on developing language, we are asking that children come dressed to represent a word or phrase.  This could be something simple such as dressing in yellow to represent sunshine.  It could also be the name of a character from a book's name so children could wear a costume they already have.

    

  We also know that some children will enjoy putting a lot of creativity into coming up with their language themed outfit.
