• **URGENT** Severn Trent Disruption

  Fri 13 Oct 2023 Mr Emms

  We have received notification from Severn Trent that, due to essential work on the water mains, there may be disruption to our water supply on Tuesday 17th October between 9am & 11am. We have asked how this will impact on us and what mitigations they will be putting in place, however unfortunately they are not able to give us any guidance or support. As we legally have to provide flushing toilets, access to fresh drinking water and water for catering this puts us in a very tricky position.

   

  We have decided we will keep the school open during this time, as there may not be any disruption. However, if the work does result in loss of water supply we will have no option but to close the school. Whilst we hope this will not be the case, we would recommend that you put contingencies in place for children to be collected at short notice if required.

   

  We are very frustrated that we have been put in this position and hope that Severn Trent will get all the work done within those hours, and there will be no further disruption.

  Following yesterday’s impressive, and slightly terrifying storm, we don’t have internet in the school. This means we have no phone lines and very limited access to emails. Please bear with us!

• Monday 19th September - Bank Holiday

  Mon 12 Sep 2022 Mr Emms

  We have now been informed that Monday 19^th September is a bank holiday for the State Funeral of Her Majesty The Queen. We have received the following from the Department for Education:

   

  The official date of the State Funeral is 19 September 2022. This day will be a bank holiday and settings that are normally closed on a bank holiday should close on this day as a mark of respect. This will include schools and colleges.

   

  As a result, The Priors School will be closed for all children on Monday 19^th September and will reopen on Tuesday 20^th September.
