Westmorland and Furness Council has commenced a consultation on proposed changes to their Home to School Transport policy.  The consultation is open from 27 February 2026 to 21 April 2026. 

Full information, including links to the consultation documents, on-line survey response and details of engagement sessions that will be held during the course of the consultation period can be found at:

Home to School Transport: policy changes consultation | Westmorland and Furness Council

For information, the council has asked us to attach the consultation documents as accessible PDFs.

They encourage you all to read these documents and respond to this consultation via the website.

Hello, As we approach the Easter break and SATs period, we know some pupils may be feeling increased pressure. Please remind your child that feeling worried is normal, SATs do not define them, and looking after their wellbeing is important.  We also want to highlight Kooth, a free online mental health and wellbeing service for young people. Kooth is available over Easter, with live chat from 12pm–10pm on weekdays and 6pm–10pm on weekends, and other features available 24/7.

Thank you for your support.

Good afternoon, 

I just wanted to share with you a link to the newly updated Westmorland and Furness Family Help Website which has some useful information for parents including our local Best Start Family Hubs based at Barrow Library, Greengate Street, Ormsgill, Walney and Barrow Island.

I have also attached a flier for Barrow Saturday Club, an inclusive short break session for children and young people with SEND.

Many thanks

Mrs Kendall

We are excited to welcome our Nursery and Reception Parents to meet with your child's class teacher on either Monday 20th April or Monday 27th April . These meetings will be face to face in our school. In order to help our appointment times to stay on track, the appointments will be timed. It is important that we keep to our appointment times as in the past, when appointments have run over, some parents have lengthy waiting times.

The form will need to be completed by 12 noon on Monday 13th April.
