Arrangements for tomorrow 29/11/2021

Good evening, 

I hope you have had a lovely weekend and have enjoyed the snow. 

No more snow has been forecast but the temperature is predicted to continue to be below freezing all night and this may make travelling to school longer. The main roads are being reported as clear but the side roads have a lot of snow and ice. School and the before and after school club will open as normal tomorrow. 

School is open at the normal time, the register will not be closed until 10:30am as It may be that we have reduced staffing first thing in the morning. where possible please bring your child(ren) in at 10:30am to allow staff to travel in safely and make the site safe. 

Please take care when travelling on the roads or paths and have a safe journey. 

Enjoy the rest of the evening.

Bantama School update and thank you video

These are the first two desks for which we fundraised, for the school in
rural Bantama village, Ghana.

They were made by a carpenter in Kumasi approx 120 miles from Bantama.
There are 100 desks and chairs for children plus four for teachers. They
were transported by a truck which came down from Bantama to get them.

Because the roads are narrow (only two carriageways, one going north and
the other south) the journey takes 5 hours each way. The furniture was
stacked in parts in the truck,  and is being made up on site.  The
carpenter came up with the load and will work on assembling  the desks &
chairs over the next few days, then he will return to Kumasi by public
transport. The next thing is raising money to buy the teaching materials
for the children (books, etc.), get the bookcases made up, then get in
the inspectors (Ghana’s OFSTED!), then the school is ready to be opened.
