School will reopen on Monday 5th March subject to there being no more snow.  With the rain and rise in temperature some of the snow has melted.  However there are still icy patches so please be careful on your journey to and from school.

Thursday 1^st March and Friday 2^nd March

School leaders have reluctantly taken the decision to close the school on Thursday 1st and Friday 2nd March based on the advice from the Local Authority. The Local Authority suggest that schools will be open as normal from Monday 5th March 2018.

 

Oldcastle Primary School creates brighter more efficient classrooms

Pupils at Oldcastle Primary School are benefiting from energy efficient lighting in their classrooms thanks to a £2,000 grant from E.ON’s Energising Communities Fund.

 

The funding from E.ON has been used to upgrade the light fittings in some areas of the school as part of its ‘Nursery and Reception Lighting for Wellbeing’ project, set up to continue the school’s efforts to transform its lighting to be brighter and more energy efficient.

 

Now the project has been completed, the school hopes that the new lighting will reduce its electricity consumption and have a positive impact on the pupils’ learning and well-being. We’re very thankful for E.ON’s grant to fund the upgrade of our nursery and reception lighting which will help us to achieve our aim of providing a safe, well-lit and energy efficient environment for our children.  The lighting will not only help cut our electricity consumption and costs but research has shown that improved lighting has the ability to have a positive effect on mental and physical health, social activities and learning performance.

 

The school aim to replace lighting in many other areas over the coming year in its aim to create brighter and more energy efficient classroom and ancillary spaces.
