It is with sadness that Buckingham Palace announced today the death of Her Majesty The Queen.

We have now entered a period of national mourning that will continue until the end of the State Funeral. 

School will remain open and we will keep you updated should this situation change. We will look to provide ongoing support for our children and members of the community in this difficult time, with Reverend Alistair Forster also attending school today, which will be of great comfort to many.

In time, we will look to hold commerorative events to celebrate the life and work of Queen Elizabeth II, but for now, we stand together in sending our condolences to the Royal Family and thank Her Majesty, for an incredible life and service to us all.
