Dear parents,
Following the announcement by the Prime Minister last night, school is now closed to MOST children. His instructions were for people who can to: STAY AT HOME.
Online learning will begin for all children on Tuesday 5th January. (Links and more information will be sent today).
We will open for critical worker and vulnerable children ONLY from Tuesday 5th January.
If your child is entitled to Free School Meals, please contact the school to let us know if you wish to have a packed lunch provided to you. (This must be a daily commitment).
If your child attends school and you do not meet the government criteria, you will be contacted to collect your child immediately. (Evidence will be needed that both parents are needed at their place of work.)
Please read the following list carefully, adhering strongly to government advice that even if you do meet the criteria and can stay at home, STAY AT HOME and ensure your children access the online learning provided by their class teacher.
We would like to thank you for your support for the school, and we wish you well in this difficult time.
Kind Regards
Gr Gary (Chair of Governors), Mrs O’Meally & Mr Carroll (Head teachers)
