It is with great regret that we have been forced to close the school on Thursday and Friday. The problem was started by a major power failure in the Corby area which does appear to have caused widespread disruption. When staff arrived to school at the start of Thursday morning there was no power to any of the essential services including lighting, heating, telephone and IT services and all security systems. 

 

We immediately began the process of evaluating the site and restoring systems where possible. Unfortunately, the failure of power has permanently damaged several key systems which now require replacement parts and installation before the site can be made safe. This work is currently underway and we are asking for the work to be completed so that we can re-open next week for the final three days of the school term.

 

We would like to thank parents and carers for their understanding and kind support. Your children's safety is our prime concern and this week has been disrupted firstly by the severe weather and now by the power failures which have made it impossible to provide a safe environment for reasons beyond our control. Please rest assured that we are undertaking every action possible to re-open the school for Monday.

Kindest Regards
