Snow

We would like to say thank you to everyone for your patience during the bad weather. Whilst we try our hardest to keep the school open and running as normal at all times, our first priority has to be the safety of children using the site and staff on their journeys to school.

When weather conditions cause problems, the decision about whether to close is made as soon as possible. Information on closure or any changes to hours is shown in a number of places:

Mini Basketball at Willowbrook Leisure Centre

Basketball is the UK’s fastest growing sport, and now children in Didcot will have the chance to take it up. It’s a great way for them to keep fit and have fun.

At these sessions, children will practice basic ball skills and ball games, and begin to learn the rules of basketball. The sessions are taken by a specialist Level 2 Basketball coach, Serguei Terekhov, who has coached several prominent local basketball teams including Abingdon Eagles and Reading Rockets.

Boys and girls aged 6-8: 1 session per week, Monday 5.00 – 5.45 pm, price per term £25.00.
