Dear Parents and Carers,

You may have seen on the news that schools have the option to close a day early for Christmas. St. Margaret's will continue with plans to close on Friday 18th December. At the end of each term St Margaret’s has always finished at 2:30pm. This year will be slightly different in that your child's class will finish 1 hour earlier than their usual staggered finish time. This allows the school to limit the number of people on the premises, along with finishing slightly earlier just like previous terms.

The reason for our decision not to close one day earlier is that staff have some lovely Christmas plans for the children. They have missed so much already that we do not want them to miss out further. Also, to change our term dates now is short notice for some of you to arrange child care and life has had enough short notice changes for all of us this term.

Have a lovely evening.

Mrs. Perry. :)
