COVID-19 School Arrangements for Easter Holidays

 

We wish to thank everyone in our school communities for all that they are doing to safeguard and help each other during this time. We know that everyone is helping in their own way: either by following government  advice and remaining at home; by providing essential care for others or by continuing to work if you are a key worker and entrusting your children to our schools while you are at work. 

 

All schools except St John's CE Infants are open during the weeks beginning Monday 6th April and Monday 13th April for children of key workers. Key worker families will have been contacted by their schools to find out when they require places. If the days required change please contact the individual schools to update your requirements. 

 

Food Hampers for the two weeks beginning Monday 6th April and Tuesday 14th April have been ordered for those families who requested them. The hampers will be delivered on the Monday of week one and Tuesday of week  two. Your school will be in touch with you about food vouchers that will be issued from 20th April. 

Coronavirus – Covid-19

The health and wellbeing of our children, their families and our school community is always our highest priority.

We are following the advice and guidance provided by NHS 111 and Public Health England to minimise risk to all and promote high standards of hygiene for both children and adults. You can support your child and school by following the guidance at home as well, including teaching them how to wash their hands thoroughly as described in the guidance and encouraging them to – Catch it, Bin it, Kill it.

 

The guidance is published on Gov.uk and the link below will take you directly to it:

If we receive notification of a confirmed case, we will follow expert advice and keep parents informed of any actions that we take, using parentmail and the school website.

 

In the meantime, it would be very helpful, if you could check that we have your most up to date contact details in school; for example, if you have recently moved or changed your phone number.
