Dear Parents/Caregivers,

News of Covid-19 and measures for schools to take are changing day to day. There has been discussion around school closures. As a school, we understand the need to be prepared for possible school closures in the future and are working on a robust plan to support families in the event that our school should close for a period of time.

This plan will take effect should the whole school close.

If you choose to keep your child home prior to this decision being made, please realise that to ask your child’s teacher for a programme of learning is a big ask, and not something we expect our teachers to accommodate. In addition to their regular school teaching load whilst school is open, we are also asking teachers to be preparing in advance materials for their whole class in the event of school closures.

During this period of preparation, we will ask teachers to try and help parents out with some general ideas and useful sites that you can utilise. Please do not expect things straight away.

Thank you for working with us. Together we really can support and inspire our children with their learning.
