The latest list of grants available to education providers can be found here. This is an internally held list and should not be sent outside of the Local Authority. I hope it is a help. Please let me know of any feedback.

The National Literacy Trust has recently published some useful resources for schools for World Book Day - they can be found here.
The original update, published two weeks ago included an error. Sonia Hegan is the Headteacher at Dry Drayton Primary School, not Nikki Wilson (as originally published). Please accept our apologies for this mistake. The Headteacher Update document can be read here.
With the news around this virus continuing, we wanted to remind schools to continue to refer to the guidance published daily by the Government. There is no separate national guidance for schools.

There is a specific section on travellers from Wuhan and China taking children to school.
Taking children to school
We recommend that you stay at home for 14 days after arriving from Wuhan or Hubei Province (or elsewhere in China if you have symptoms), and avoid public places. Where possible, contact a friend or family member to take your children to school.
If Headteacher is approached by parents, then please use the guidance for answering their questions and direct them to it..

The Spinney, Wisbech Adventure Playground is hosting a Lithuanian Pancake Day on Saturday 22nd February 1pm-4pm run by the Wisbech Lithuanian Community group. Pancake Day in Lithuania is traditionally called Užgavėnės which translates as ‘The time before Lent’. The main element of this holiday tradition is to say goodbye to winter and welcome in the spring. This event will be celebrated with traditional dances, songs and plenty of pancakes! Entry is free and there will be other refreshments available. It is set to be a great day with lots to do so we invite everyone to come along and celebrate.
