Firstly can I thank everyone, children, parents and school staff alike for their efforts during this first term back to school. Although it’s been a challenge for many we have started to see a steady rhythm within schools living under covid measures. Thank you.
Please view the COVID 19 Letter below for further details:
As the term comes to a close, we are planning for the safe return of all of our children in September. We would like to share the details of what this will look like and how you can continue to support the measures we are taking to keep everyone in our school community as safe as possible. The following advice follows the new local authority risk assessment for Durham schools. Any changes between now and September will be in response to local and national guidance.
Dear Parents and Carers,
As we head into the summer holidays, we wanted to take this opportunity to remind you that Coronavirus is still with us and there are some very simple steps we can all take to help keep each other safe and healthy.

Opening of County Durham schools to more children
I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for all that you are doing at this challenging time. I realise that many parents / carers are thinking carefully about whether your child/children return to their childcare setting or school. For many this is a difficult decision and we want to reassure you that we understand how difficult this is.

The children of St Pius School completed a sponsored fun run to raise money for Willowburn Hospice. Rusty the squirrel came along to meet the children and cheer them on. The pupils raised over £700 and presented the cheque to Rusty in the Summer Term.
We celebrated the final day of our primary mission with an afternoon tea with parents, parishioners and pupils. We performed our mission song and dance and released 100 balloons into the snowy sky!
