IMPORTANT UPDATE 23.6.26 - Early School Dismissal and Adaptations Due to Extreme Heatwave
Dear Parents and Carers,
As you are aware, the region is currently experiencing an unprecedented heatwave with exceptionally high temperatures. We want to reassure you that the safety, comfort, and well-being of our pupils remain our absolute priority.
For the next three days—Tuesday 23rd, Wednesday 24th, and Thursday 25th June—we will be making the following adaptations to the school day:
-
Early Collection from School (1:30 PM): Any parent wishing to collect their child early from school can do so from 1:30 PM on these days. We fully respect your parental decision and preference on this matter.
-
Early Leave for Independent Travellers (1:30 PM): Independent travellers will be permitted to leave school at 1:30 PM daily, provided we have parental consent. If you choose this option, please contact the school office as soon as possible to give us explicit permission to dismiss your child at 1:30 PM.
Thank you for your ongoing support and cooperation during this extreme weather.
Warm regards,
Celia Dawson
Headteacher
Welcome to CGS!
It gives me great pleasure to welcome you to Cricket Green School.
We were once described as “Like school. Only better!” and that's what we like to believe we offer to all our pupils and families.
Cricket Green is a thriving and outstanding special school, which offers learners the opportunity to grow and develop in an environment where they and their achievements are valued. Pupil well being is at the heart of all we do as we strive for all our learners to be happy, develop skills and competencies for life and grow in to secure and confident young people taking their place in society.
In 2010, 2013, 2017 and 2023 Ofsted judged us as an “Outstanding School”
praise doesn’t get any better than that but it hasn't stopped us striving to do better to continue to make Cricket Green a happy and outstandingly successful school. We surround ourselves with remarkable people and have amazing pupils!
OUTSTANDING 2010 - 2023 !!!
Headteacher: Celia Dawson, OBE
