Due to continued weather-related safety issues around access to the school, IWBS will be closed to pupils today.

Due to the current levels of snow and ice making it dangerous to travel, IWBS will be closed today to staff and pupils. We hope to reopen tomorrow (Wednesday 10th February). Watch this space for further news.

 

If any pupils are having problems accessing Microsoft Teams, either through the Glow website or the Teams App, please contact the school for support. Staff are usually available during school hours to talk you through any issues, reset passwords, etc. If the relevant staff member is not immediately available, your details will be passed on and they will get back to you as soon as they can.

Thanks to all the individuals and organisations that have donated goods and  services to support families this Christmas. Our Family Support team, Gail and Joyce, have been busy elves, delivering parcels around the authority today.

From everyone at IWBS, have a safe and happy Christmas holiday!

Many thanks to Fraser Haulage, who have very kindly donated a shipping container to the school. Since merging all the different parts of the service onto one campus, we have been really short of space for storage, and this is a fantastic solution to our problem. Plans are already in place to decorate it!
