We will be hosting a number of Open Afternoons in the coming months.  Come and have a look around our wonderful school.

Thursday 6th October, Thursday 3rd November and Thursday 1st December 2022.

The State Funeral for Her Majesty The Queen will take place next Monday 19th September.  This day will be a Bank Holiday and accordingly our school will be closed.  We will re-open on Tuesday 20th September.

We continue to hold Her Majesty The Queen and her family in our thoughts and prayers.

Well done to our wonderful new starters who have began their journey with us this week.  You have all made a fabulous start and we are so proud that you are now part of our Easington C of E Primary School family. 

After the very sad news yesterday regarding the death of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, the children have spent this morning celebrating her amazing life and all she has done for our country. The children also visited church and wrote prayers for the Queen and her family at this sad time

Amen.

I hope this update finds you all safe and well and that everyone has enjoyed a fantastic summer break.  As a staff, we are all really looking forward to welcoming children and families back to school tomorrow.  We know we are going to have another fun, exciting and memorable year together in our own unique, special way.

Unfortunately, we have had quite a serious flood during the six weeks holidays which has resulted in considerable damage to certain areas of the building (School Library, KS2 Boy’s toilet, ICT room, my office, Staff Room and adjoining corridors).  Despite this, we were determined that the school would open on Tuesday as planned as we did not want our wonderful children to miss valuable learning time.  Therefore, school will be open as normal tomorrow, but there will be certain areas of school (as mentioned above) that children will not be able to access.  This will all be explained clearly to children in the morning so please do not worry.

Workmen from Durham County Council have been on site for the past week and we are hopeful that school will be returned to normal in the next two to three weeks.

During this time, we will endeavour to keep things as normal as possible for the children but we would appreciate your understanding and patience with certain aspects of school life eg. reading books being changed etc.

Thank you for your support and understanding and I will provide a further update as the situation develops.

Kind regards

Mr Appleby
