Can I say a massive thanks to the staff who gave up their time to come on the residential. They did two nights away from family, and were on duty for pretty much 55 hours straight! It's a privilege and pleasure to do it but I'm very grateful for them volunteering.

Due to the ongoing extreme weather and dangerous conditions, Shawlands will remain closed today. Tomorrow will still be an INSET Day (if we can get in) so pupils will return on Monday. We will try to re-schedule Book Day for a future date. Stay safe, and enjoy the snow.

Our children have once again made us proud today. To be able to take all the children together is amazing and our very own Miss Hargreaves and PT made it even better. It was very emotional how proud the children were of them and they definitely got the loudest cheer❤️

So despite being allergic to cats, I've been 'persuaded' to get two kittens. So in two weeks or so we'll be saying hello to Isco and Ezra at chez Thompson. They're special low-allergen cats, or so I'm told.

Best advice I ever had, and it has always worked, is let them get it all out without interrupting. Their volume gradually decreases and they run out of things to say. Once they've finished, start to reply.

30 members of staff having flu jabs this morning, and everyone's being very brave! Attendance this week is still great - even though we have children and a staff member self isolating due contact with +ve cases, we are feeling blessed not to have had a +ve case in school as yet.
