• 2020-2021 HT updates

  Thu 31 Dec 2020

  Dear Parents / Carers,
  Happy new year everyone. 
  We are really looking forward to welcoming you back to school and face to face learning. Please remember to wrap up, coats, gloves and hats (all named) are essential as we will be learning and playing outside.  Windows will also still be open in class so don't forget the thermals under your uniform! 
  We can't wait to see you all again on Tuesday 5th January 2021!
  
  What we will do if we get a positive case of Covid-19
  We are really clear of what needs to be done by when and who will do it. 
  The Senior Leadership team will follow ALL advice by Public Health England. PHE will give us all of the letters that we must send out to you and they will tell us who must self isolate. We will inform you by letter whether your child must self isolate or whether you can return to school. 
  We CANNOT tell you who has had the positive test, and we would really appreciate you not speculating on social media, as this can cause worry and anxiety  to others. 
  
  Best wishes
  Mrs Bates
