A spokesperson said: “The school has been led for the last few months by our excellent deputy headteacher, who is acting as head while the headteacher has been away from school for personal reasons.
“This will continue until at least the end of the month, after which we hope to be able to confirm arrangements for the remainder of this summer term.
“We would like to thank all our staff for their continued hard work and professionalism during this period to ensure the school continues to provide a great education to the pupils, and to thank our parents for their patience and understanding.
“We appreciate their support very much. We will update in due course."
Deputy headteacher Jessica Storton is leading the school in her absence.
