• Covid Snake

  Tue 02 Jun 2020 Mark Biltcliffe
  'Covid' the snake was started when one or two children painted and varnished stones and it has became a real Buckley community project. Attempts are being made to find a permanent home for it and have it laid in concrete as a reminder of this unusual year.

  

• Press Release from Flintshire County Council

  Sat 21 Mar 2020 Flintshire County Council

  Flintshire County Council has taken the decision that all schools who are able to should open on Monday 23 March to make provision for children whose parents are vital workers, where they are either:

   

  • A single parent vital worker; or
  • Both parents are vital workers

   

  This provision will be in place initially for one week.  Further updates on the weeks after will be provided as soon as possible.

   

  The expectation is that any child who can safely be cared for at home should be and it is in exceptional circumstances that they will need to access this provision.  This is important as the purpose of school closure is ultimately to reduce social contact.

   

  We are planning for schools to be open between 8.00am – 5.30pm.  Parents should regularly check the status of their local school by accessing their own school’s website along with the Flintshire School Closure website (flintshire.gov.uk/schoolclosures) for updates.  This page will be regularly updated.  If your school is not one that is planning to open, then you should contact the school to discuss alternative arrangements.

   

  Catering will be provided to all children who attend.  

   

  The school transport network will continue to operate all next week at the usual times (i.e school hours) for the children of vital workers should parents need to access it.  Parents should contact school.transport@flintshire.gov.uk if they have any queries.

   

  It is important that children do not sit together on the transport and should sit on separate rows to reduce social contact.

   

  Schools will continue to adhere to the latest WG and Public Health Wales advice and guidance when considering their provision, particularly with regard to social distancing and self-isolation, see link below:

• Visit from Ringway

  Tue 12 Mar 2019 M. Biltcliffe

  Drury Primary School was pleased to welcome Louise Teesdale and Sian Williams to our assembly on 11th March 2019. Louise gave a well presented talk, backed up by a Power Point to children ranging from Nursery to Year 6. The pupils were very attentive, enjoyed the content of the talk and, when the amount of learning was assessed at the end, remembered the key points.

   

  I would be delighted to welcome them back to another assembly in the future and I wish to pass on my appreciation for the time taken to speak to our children to help them be aware of construction site dangers.
