Dear Parents/Carers

On behalf of the whole school community, I would like to express our deepest sympathies for the passing of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. Her dedication to the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and to her other realms and territories is unparalleled and we thank her for her service.

We will observe the mourning period whilst continuing to support our pupils, families and staff. Unless otherwise stated, please assume any scheduled activities and events we have scheduled will continue as planned. We will observe the national holiday of Her Majesty’s funeral (date to be confirmed), which means schools will be closed that day, but outside of this, school hours will continue as normal.

We will be keeping pupils informed of news about these events as part of collective worship and class activities. If you think your child may be experiencing particular upset due to the passing of the Queen, please do let us know so we can provide additional support if needed. Should there be anything further we can support you with, please don’t hesitate to contact us.

Kind regards

Liz Bennett
