Covid-19 Update:

We have received some clarification on the position of schools from Monday.

Please remember, the ultimate aim remains to keep the number of children in school to an absolute minimum.
Schools have been asked to facilitate pupils in school whose parents are critical to the Covid-19 team who would have otherwise no option but to stay at home. Therefore, this would apply to single parents and families where BOTH parents are key workers.

The following headings for key workers have been provided
- Health and Social Care: doctors / nurses / midwives / paramedics / social workers / home carers
- Education and Childcare: education professionals who remain active during Covid-19 response
- Public Safety and National Security: police and fire services, prison officers
- Those keeping air, water, road and rail transports operating
- Utilities: staff needed for gas, oil, electricity and water and key staff in telecommunications, post and waste disposal
- Food production and processing and those essential to the provision of goods (e.g. hygiene and medical)
- Key national and local government

If you are in any of the above categories as a sole parent or BOTH parents, please contact the school by 12 noon today. If you work part-time we would state that pupils are only in school on working days.

We are already working with reduced staff numbers so we ask that parents only use school if absolutely necessary. We have a Duty of Care not only to our pupils but also to our staff and their families.

I hope to have more details this morning for arrangements for children entitled to Free School Meals.

Look after yourselves,
Miss Carson 👩‍🏫
