This has been in the pipeline since long before I assumed the headship at Northaw; however, we are now able to go ahead with an extension to the building, adding much-needed space to the kitchen and staffroom. This work will continue until April 2023; our priority is keeping any disruption to a minimum. While pupils will naturally want to watch the builders when they enter and leave school, and robust safety procedures have been agreed, we advise parents and carers to supervise their children carefully, especially as passing immediately in front of the school will be restricted.
