  • Smith's Wood Primary School Updates

    Published 03/04/20

    At the end of a very ‘unusual’ 2 weeks in the lives of us all, we, at Smith’s Wood Primary Academy, would like to once again wish you well for the upcoming weekend and hope that you are all staying safe with your families. I know that this would have been the last day of the Spring term for all of us and children would have been heading home to enjoy the holidays and the huge amount of chocolate that they would consume in Easter eggs. We do hope that you have all managed to stock up on treats for Easter, so that you can enjoy some family time, albeit in the confines of your own homes.

    The continued support, from parents, during the school closure continues to be outstanding and we would like to thank you for respecting the Government guidelines and keeping your children at home, safe with you, wherever you are able to do so.
