School will be open as normal today.

We are still asking parents NOT to drive on Birks Fold please. It is a bad road at the best of times and with the ice, it is even worse.

Please help us protect our children’s safety.

School will be open from 10 o’clock this morning, to give people a chance to make their journeys in safely.

If you need to go to work, you will be able to drop your child off from 8.30 but as we will only have a few staff at that time, please only drop them off if you really need to.

PLEASE do not drive on to Birks Fold. It is very icy and children will be crossing the road at various points. Safety has to be our number 1 concern.

To everyone who has been asking via the blog and email as to whether school is open in the morning – Thursday. The answer is CHECK IN THE MORNING (and yes I was shouting, just in case somebody couldn’t hear)
Mr Pope won’t make the decision about whether to open school or not until he knows what the situation is, so check on the website in the morning. AND if you have not given your mobile phone number into school for text message alerts, do it as soon as school reopens.

School is closed today

The roads and paths around school are snowed over and very icy underneath so Mr Pope has decided to close the school for Health and Safety reasons. Please take care if you do have to go out. We will put a message here again tomorrow to let you know if we are open or you can subscribe to text message alerts below.

School will be closed today.

Happy New Year and let’s hope that 2010 is a good year for everyone in Lidget Green.

Yesterday the government launched its E-Safety strategy – Click Clever, Click Safe

Here at Lidget Green, we take E-Safety very seriously and teach all our children internet safety. If you want to know more about E-Safety, why not check out our E-Safety blog and keep an eye for our Internet Safety leaflet which has just arrived back from the printers and should be given to all our families very soon.

Lidget Green year 6 pupils had a special training session to get them ready for the change to Secondary school when they will probably be travelling by bus. Apart from learning how to plan journeys and keep safe, they also did an environmental quiz on bus travel, when some of them learnt that it is not always a good idea to pick the silly answer
