The school’s Headteacher Ben has caught a bad case of malaria. ![]()

He’s got so much to do at the moment to prepare for the reopening of the Brightlingsea Academy next week, malaria certainly wasn’t part of his plan. ![]()

Although he would like to work through it we have told him to rest and become strong again for the weeks ahead. We are wishing him a speedy recovery.

Teachers are sweeping and cleaning their classrooms today, getting ready to welcome back their students. These classrooms have been empty for far too many days. Laughter, joy and lots of noise is about to return in abundance (over 200 little people)! 🥰
