Dear Parents and Carers,

Following the Government announcement tonight regarding the closing of primary and secondary schools we will be taking stock of the Department for Education guidance which will hopefully follow tomorrow and write to you regarding the next steps.

After an excellent first term we are as disappointed as you that face to face education cannot continue but are also aware that we are in a critical health crisis which warranted this action with cases rising dramatically locally over the last few days.

Online learning will start tomorrow but please be aware that there may be disruption to this provision tomorrow as primary schools may not have key worker provision set up for the children of our staff due to the short notice given to them.

Our key worker and vulnerable pupil provision will continue as planned although we are aware that some circumstances may have changed with the national lockdown in place and more people working from home. Please email [email protected] if you no longer wish to take up this provision.

Please keep safe.

Kind regards

Ian Raikes

Headteacher
