Dear parents and carers,
Mayfield School, Heathfield Road Site will be closed to Heathfield Road pupils on Monday 31 March 2025 for Eid-Ul-Fitr.
We always strive to keep the school open wherever possible. However, this year presents exceptional challenges, and after careful consideration and consultation we have made the difficult decision to close the Heathfield Road Site on Monday, 31st March.
The reason for the closure of the site is health and safety, as there will be significant staff shortages on this day. This impacts vital aspects of school life such as consistency for pupils, classroom supervision, lunchtime provision, and transport, making it difficult to provide a safe and effective learning environment. Given these risks, we believe that closing Heathfield Road site is the most responsible course of action.
Eid-Ul-Fitr marks the conclusion of Ramadan for those who observe it. Please ensure that appropriate arrangements are in place for your child on this day.
Heathfield Road Site will reopen as usual on Tuesday 1 April 2025, and we expect all pupils to attend as normal.
Mayfield, Wheeler Street Site will be open on Monday 31 March 2025 for Wheeler Street pupils only.
Thank you for your understanding and support. We extend our best wishes to those in our community who are celebrating.
Kind regards,
Vicky
