Possible Phased Return

11th May 2020 By andrewgraham

Hello everyone, we hope you are well and continuing to follow the guidelines to keep safe. Last night the government announced that schools may be in a position to re-open on June 1st for pupils in Reception, Year 1 and Year 6.

All staff and Governors would like nothing better than to have our school open, our classrooms full and our children being educated. But, our first priority has to be the safety of children and staff.

As today progresses there will be further information from the Government as to how they plan for this return to school to happen. The Governors and senior leaders of the school will be taking advice and guidance from the government, the Local Authority and the Education Unions. Any decisions made about re-opening will be based primarily on keeping pupils and staff safe.

At this moment, nothing has really changed. School is open for the children of key-workers when there is no other option for child-care amongst the immediate family. Children at home will continue to receive home learning activities from their class teacher.

As soon as we have any further detail we will share it with parents and carers.
