Keep up to date with all the latest news happening in school at the moment.
Eid Parties – Friday 28th April
To celebrate Eid there will be parties for children during the afternoon of Friday 28th April.
On the day, children will be allowed to wear their own clothes.
We would appreciate it if you could send in an item of food (samosas, pakoras, crisps, sandwiches, cakes etc) for your child to share with their class. *Please can we ask that any food provided is free from nuts as we have children in the school with nut allergies*
Industrial Action – Thursday 27th April 2023 and Tuesday 2nd May
The NEU has formally notified employers that strike action will take place on Thursday 27th April and Tuesday 2nd May in relation to a national dispute over pay.
Whilst we will make every effort to open the whole school on the day, indications are that Berridge will need to close some classes. Having assessed the impact and potential risks, and after consultation with the Chair of Governors, I have decided to close certain classes on Thursday 27th April and Tuesday 2nd May
Thursday 27th April
All classes in Reception , Year 1 and Year 2 will be closed.
Tuesday 2nd May
Beech class (Year 3), Elder class (Year 4), Larch class (Year 1) also all classes in reception will be closed
The rest of the school is open (including Nursery) and will operate as normal.
If your child is entitled to free school meals and it is affected by this closure then we can arrange for the kitchen to make a packed lunch . This can be collected in the morning from school. Please contact the school office on 0115 9155851 by Tuesday 25th April to order the packed lunch. All the other years groups will have a hot meal service as normal.
School will be open to all children following these strike days as normal
It is difficult to assess the impact on school at this stage but we will try to keep you updated as soon as we can in case anything changes.
Yours sincerely,
Jamie Tee
Mr J Tee
Head Teacher
