 School Closure January 5th 2021

Dear Parents/Guardians,

Urgent Update

The Government closed all Primary Schools on 4th January  in response to the national lockdown. The messages are stark, the outbreak is dangerous and we must take the lockdown seriously. We should stay at home to reduce the risk of transmission of the deadly disease.

We must do everything we can to keep each other safe.

This means that if you are a critical worker you should consider the need for a school place very carefully. This is the governments guidance:

"Children with at least one parent or carer who is a critical worker can go to school or college if required, but parents and carers should keep their children at home if they can."

If you are at home or your partner is then you must think about the safety of your child and all those others in school. If at all possible they should be at home. 

We are asking for evidence that you are a critical worker. An ID badge, letter from your employer or pay slip emailed as a photo is fine. I think given the serious situation you will see why we are asking for this.

For all children at home we have 3 - 4 hours of remote learning each day using the packs we sent out and class dojo. There is a daily  zoom meetings which we expect you to join so that we can check in with children on their days learning.

You must engage with this. If you are struggling  then please contact us. It may be that we can lend a laptop to you and possibly support with internet access. or deliver work packs to you.

The link below will take you to the school information about the impact of coronavirus on school  operation. Tomorrow we will upload the simple document on the control measure we are using to keep the school as safe as possible  alongside our risk assessment. .

Again please think carefully about the need for a school place. It should not just be about convenience. We must keep our community safe by reducing numbers in school.

These are challenging times but there is light at the end of the tunnel with the vaccine roll out. I wish the very best to all our families and hope you all stay safe and well.
