Marking the sad news of the death of Queen Elizabeth II
Dear Parents and Carers,
I wanted to update you as promised as soon as we had more information. We have had this message from the DfE:
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.
This means that school will be closed on Monday 19th September.
This week we will be working on our memorial books. Every class will have a part to play in this.
On Friday 16th September, the books will be available for parents and people in our community to sign, leave a message or just to read. We will then be sending one to the Royal Family and we will be keeping one as a memory of this sad but historic occasion.
The memorial books will be available at the front of school on Friday 16th September:
7:45-9:00am
3:00-5:30pm
Please come and read and/or sign/leave a message if you can so that you are part of our commemorations.
Kind regards
Sarah Murray
