Oliver Goldsmith Primary School, Kingsbury, has announced that it will be open as usual tomorrow, Monday  January 16th, following a repair to its boiler.

The school had to close on Friday 13th when the boiler broke down and the school was without heating or hot water.

Congratulations to all concerned for a speedy repair.

The new Chalkhill Park opens in time for the Bank Holiday weekend

 

Chalkhill Park

Builders' fences were removed from Chalkhill Park today after a final surge of activity to get the park ready for the Bank Holiday.

News reached Chalkhill Primary School at lunchtime and spread like wildfire around the playground to cheers from the children.

The weekly School Walking Club were the first to officially use the new facility.  A landscape gardener, stripped to the waist and pushing a laden wheelbarrow, stopped me and said, 'This makes it all worthwhile. The children's faces as they swarmed into the park were wonderful. It was amazing It was worth all the work.'

Parents and children rushed to the park after school and there was widespread praise from the former for the design. Children were too overcome with excitement and breathless from trying everything out to say very much but their big smiles told their own story.
