Keep up to date with all the latest news happening in school at the moment.
We are delighted to announce that on January 3rd 2018 we are opening a new 30 hour nursery provision. The 'Nursery Nest' will be located on our Sports Hall site, opposite the main school building. Initially provision will be 9am to 3pm, term time only. Should there be a demand for longer hours and holiday provision we will consider this in the near future.
The 'Nest' will be staffed by Short Wood staff, supported by a fully qualified teacher who will be working as part of the Early Years team at the school. We are really excited as to the potential opportunities this new provision can offer. If you are entitled to claim the 30 hours provision please contact our school office on 01952 387360.

We intend to reopen on Wednesday 13th December as weather forecasts are improving. If conditions significantly worsen overnight we will reassess in the morning. Whilst the forecast is better and main routes have been treated side routes may still be a challenge so please allow extra time for your journey to school tomorrow and be patient with each other. The site team have worked hard to clear the site but clearly conditions remain tricky.
Children need to be dressed appropriately for the weather, warm coats and outdoor footwear, which can be changed to indoor footwear once in school.
The Year 5 Victorian Christmas performance tomorrow evening has been cancelled however they will still get chance to share their performance during the church visits on Thursday and Friday and as part of Golden Leaf assembly on Friday.
Christmas lunch will hopefully be on Thursday, parties will be on Thursday too but we will not be asking children to bring food. We will confirm details when we return tomorrow.
Thank you for your patience and support, the safety of families and staff has to be a priority.
We look forward to seeing you tomorrow.
In line with other schools locally, Short Wood is closed tomorrow, Tuesday 12th December. This is due to concerns over the severe weather forecast overnight and the impact this could have on the safety of pupils and staff.
Toddler group's Christmas party will not go ahead due to the closure, this group will resume on January 9th. Wednesday evening's Year 5 performance will not go ahead as planned due to the disruption this week and Christmas lunch will be served later in the week.
We will keep you updated with any further changes to previously arranged dates.
Due to the closure of school early on Friday and on Monday we have taken the decision to rearrange Key Stage 1 performances. The dates are now as follows:
Thank you for your support. The children and staff have worked so hard we want to give them every opportunity to have enough rehearsal time to make it a special performance to create magical memories.
