• SCHOOL CLOSED 14/2/14

  Fri 14 Feb 2014
  Due to the  serious weather forcast and coupled to existing flooding the school is closed on Friday 14th Feb.
  Many staff travel some distances to school and with so many routes closed the school cannot guarantee an acceptable level of cover.

• Unplanned School Closure Notification

  Wed 15 Jan 2014

  If the school is closed due to an unforeseen event - snow etc. Information about the closure will be given:

  1. On this Website under Latest News on the home page.
  2. BBC Hereford & Worcester 104FM
  3. Free Radio 102.8FM
  4.  WWW.worcestershire.gov.uk
  5. Text message to mobile numbers held by the office

  The decision to close will be made as early as possible and is not taken lightly.
  
  The major factors in deciding to close are:

  1. Whether there would be sufficient staff to ensure the safe running of the school?
  2. Would it be safe for staff and children/parents to travel under the circumstances?
  3. Is the school site safe and able to function as a school?

• Building Works Have Started!

  Tue 22 Oct 2013
  Building Work Starts!
  Building work to construct a new six classroom wing has finally started at Great Malvern Primary School. The new build is to replace ‘temporary’ classrooms that have been on site for at least fifteen years. Drain diversion works are in progress and the main build contractor, E G Carter, will start work on the 3^rd November. The build is expected to be thirty weeks long.
  The £1million funding has come from the government’s Academy Maintenance Fund following a successful bid earlier in the year. This capital works fund is only available to academies and is designed to help in the improvement to school buildings and allow academies to respond to pressures on school space.
  Mr Paul Jackson-Read, Headteacher says:
  “After months of effort, I am absolutely delighted that work has started on this exciting project. The old mobile classrooms are a very poor environment for children to learn in. The new six classroom block plus kitchen will enable our Year Four to Year Six children to learn in a bright, engaging and appropriate space. It’s what they deserve.
  This new build is happening as a direct result of the school converting to academy status over two years ago and would not be occurring if we had remained with the local authority.
  Whilst I am not looking forward to the inevitable disruption to school life, we are all keeping focused on the superb facilities we will have next year. The disruption will be worth it.”
