We are deeply shocked and saddened at the news of the loss of former pupil Adam Simms on Friday. Our prayers go to Adam’s family and friends. Adam was always so full of life and energy. A very talented sportsman and a very polite and well-mannered young man. A tragic loss.

Following an assessment of the site this morning and of the roads into Brigg, it would not be safe for students or staff to travel or to be on site. The decision has been made therefore to remain closed today. With apologies.

The school site has been assessed and the extremely icy conditions, along with the dangerously strong winds means students’ safety would be at risk if we were to open. Therefore the very regrettable decision has been made to remain closed today.
