Dear Parent / Carer
In light of recent announcements from various unions, a review of our current risk assessments and a review of staffing levels the Chair of Governors has made the difficult decision to fully close the school tomorrow Monday 4th, to ALL pupils and families (including keyworker and vulnerable children), in order to prepare to move the school to remote learning and reopen for keyworker children and vulnerable pupils. A text message will be sent to all families later today to assess the levels of need for these groups and I ask that youbear with us over Monday as we now undertake the task of collating all this information and planning a way to return as many children as possible into school given staff levels and health and safety requirements. If you qualify for a key worker place please can you let us know if you wish to utilise this place by responding to the text as soon as possible – please note we may need to limited places to families with 2 keyworkers and single parent households first.
This means the school will now reopen on Tuesday 5th to confirmed Key worker and vulnerable children only.
In addition, staff will be delivering remote learning packs to all children on Monday to use alongside Class Dojo, with sufficient work to last beyond the potential 2 weeks.
I understand that you may have many questions and I will be happy to answer these tomorrow. I apologise for the short notice in terms of tomorrow but I am sure you will appreciate this is a rapidly evolving situation over which I have little control. Can I thank you for all the kind messages received across the day. Your continued support is much appreciated.
