Clough Head School: Plea to our community

Posted on by

Clough Head School is being used as the child care base for all 3 of the federation schools this week. School is closed to the majority of our federation children, however we will have up to 30 children and staff each day at Clough Head because their parents are key workers or they fall into the ‘vulnerable children’ category. We are hoping to be outdoors in the sunshine as much as possible, both in the playground and on the school field. We would normally encourage the children and families in our community to enjoy using our school field in such lovely weather, however we are politely requesting that between the hours of 8.30a.m. and 3.30p.m. next week,  families not accessing our child care provision stay away from the field, playground and school building. This is so that we can practise ‘social distancing’ as best we can and help stop the spread of the virus. We want to do our very best to keep all our families and community members safe,If you are able to share this message around the neighbours and community we would very much appreciate it. Thank you for your help. Stay safe everyone.

Kind Regards,

Claire Kenworth

Centurion Racing – October update

Posted on by

One month on and we have some exciting news regarding fundraising. We have now raised roughly a third of the funds we need to attend the World Finals in Abu Dhabi in November. We have had a number of generous donations to our GoFundMe campaign (gofundme.com/centurionracingworldfinals) and a local company, Aflex Hose Limited, have made a significant contribution to our campaign funds. Aflex Hose, the world’s leading manufacturer of PTFE flexible hose, are now our title sponsors for the event and we have developed a new logo for the event which reflects this. Fundraising is still obviously a priority for the team and if you can support the team in any way, large or small, it would be much appreciated. Email laurence@centurionracing for details of sponsorship packages.
