On Friday 03 May, we close at 2.00pm.
Once again, Scholes has been chosen as the location for part of the route of the Tour de Yorkshire. The men’s race will pass through Scholes at around 3.45pm. The roads will be closed around an hour before and after the race so we’re closing school at 2.00pm on Friday 03 May.
On this day, please allow yourself time to collect your child safely. If you drive, please be aware you can’t park on the main road – give yourself time to park further afield (eg the church car park) and walk the rest of the way.
We apologise for any inconvenience but once the roads are closed they may remain closed for around an hour, making movement in and out of the village impossible.
We want to show our support and show off our school and village (who have entered the ‘Best Dressed’ village competition) as best we can. We therefore invite children to come wearing yellow and blue for the day. We’re also planning a piece of ‘land art’ on the school field or playground. Hopefully, we might be featured on the TV coverage, local news or in the newspapers!
We’ll be keeping ourselves busy and active by working through our Wake Up Shake Up dances while we wait for the women’s race to pass through at around 10.30am. Year 5 and 6 children will be able to watch the race from the pavement outside school.
