I have taken the very difficult decision to close Newport CE Junior School tomorrow; Monday 11th December. It is not a decision I have made easily and realise it may cause inconvenience. I have made the decision now so that you can make alternative plans.

I have a duty of care to staff and children for safe travel to school and with current weather conditions and the overnight forecast travel in the morning is going to be very difficult.

I will be in touch as soon as possible with an alternative plan for the Year 5 and 6 performance that was due to take place tomorrow.

I apologise again for inconvenience but hope you understand.
