Support following the events of 13.6.23

 

Dear Parents and Carers,

 

We are just writing to give you an update on the tragic events in Nottingham yesterday.

 

As you will probably be aware three people sadly lost their lives during a city attack in the early hours of the 13th June 2023. Following on from the information yesterday, I can confirm police are continuing to investigate the incident, and we will continue to update families with further necessary information.

Our thoughts and sympathies remain with all the families affected by this shocking incident.

 

Please rest assured that every measure is taken by school to ensure that the children remain safe when they are here. This includes fenced and gated premises, locked and secured access points with only supervised and electronic entry, and high staff supervision. I wanted to give you further reassurance that the staff team are prepared to talk with pupils in an appropriate and sensitive way about the events that have unfolded should the pupils feel worried. However, it remains a priority to the school for our children and young people to feel safe.

 

The key for us all will be to ensure we support all of our pupils and their families. We will also share via our school website further information and support for families.

 

We understand how incredibly upsetting this is for the whole community and thank you for your ongoing support.

 

Kind regards

 

Cheryl Steele

Headteacher
