Coronavirus Update - May

1st May 2020

Dear Parents/Carers

 

The school will continue to be open only to a small number of pupils, some of whom's parents are keyworkers. This is whilst government guidance continues to be that pupils should remain at home if it is safer for them to do so. We will review this position when new guidance is received, and update you by 22nd May at the latest. You will continue to receive three welfare calls a week, one of which will be from your child’s class teacher, to support Learning at Home. Please keep checking the ‘Learning at Home’ section of our website for resources and our school YouTube channel.

 

With all best wishes

 

Joe Sieber

Headteacher
