The highlight of this half term, however, has probably been the chance to play in the snow followed by a hot chocolate before school starts. December 18, 2011 Merry Christmas  The staff at Upwood Small to Tall would like to wish you all a very Happy Christmas December 18, 2011 Nearly There.... Upwood Small To Tall’s new building is all ready for us to move in. Furniture has been ordered and we are just waiting for the green light from Ofsted to say everything is as it should be. Hopefully we will be in a position to start operating out of our own purpose built premises early next term with a view to offering extended hours after the February half term. When school re-opens on 5th January 2012 we will still be operating out of the school dining hall initially but access will once again be via the back door, not through the school reception. Thank you all for your patience while the building work was going on .
