Stepney Primary is open every day next week, including Friday 18th December. This week, the government announced that schools could take one of their training days on the last day of term. Our trust, the YHCLT, has taken the decision that all of its primary schools will stay open on that day. It looks as though most other primary school academy trusts are also staying open next Friday as well.

We are very grateful to a parent who phoned us up last night to report a new miss. She was driving slowly along Stepney Lane when one of our pupils hurtled out in front of her on their scooter. The child didn't look either way and carried on without a sidewards glance. Fortunately, the parent stopped and no one was injured. Please remind your child about the importance of being careful on and near the roads.
