Dear Parents and Carers,

GOVERNMENT CLOSURE OF SCHOOLS

A decision has been made by the Government to close schools in England. As a result, our school will close on Friday 20th March at the end of the school day until further notice.

Please follow the latest guidance on the news and look out for a message on ParentMail to confirm when school will be re-opening. Information will also be posted on the school website and the school Twitter account.

The individual circumstances of our school will also need to be taken into account for re-opening. If staff sickness or self-isolation is high, this may result in a partial closure or complete closure of the school - beyond the government guidance. This information will be shared with you as described above.

We are providing Learning Projects to enable your child to continue their school work which will be sent out on ParentMail along with other resources. These will also be available on the school website on the Home Learning page.

It is important that class teachers keep in touch with children each week. An email address has been set up for each year group for you to send an email to. We ask that you email once a week to let the teacher know how the children are and whether they are having any problems with their learning. Teachers will check this email address once a week and send a response if requested. Please type the name of your child, the class and class teacher’s name at the beginning of your email. The email addresses are listed at the end of this letter.

Please be aware that staff may be ill, self-isolating or caring for children or elderly relatives and may not be able to respond to you. If your child struggles with a piece of work, ask them to move onto another piece; the work set is appropriate for your child but they may not always recall some aspects of the work.

Please ensure that you and your children are following the guidance set by the Government and Public Health England, for example in relation to gatherings and hygiene, to help protect the health of our community.

If you have any further questions, you are welcome to speak to a member of the school leadership team or the class teacher.

This is a difficult time for everyone and we hope that all in our community are able to keep safe and healthy.

Yours sincerely,





Mrs S. Pecheur
Head Teacher
