CYP Upper: Here Comes the Summer!
It has been such an eventful week at Cypress! Monday and Tuesday saw the hottest temperatures ever recorded in the UK, and the sweatiest school days we’ve ever witnessed!
We have some places remaining at our Nursery at Ecclesbourne Primary School in September. Full time and part time places are available. Please call 020 8684 3187 and ask to speak to Cheryl Peters (school hours Monday to Thursday) or e-mail epsadmin@pegasusacademytrust.org for more information. If you would like to see a virtual tour of the Nursery premises please click here.
