Dear Parents and Carers,

Following the government’s announcement about lockdown, staff shortages, and to enable us to continue to support the health and wellbeing of our community, we have made the decision to offer restricted numbers of places until the end of Term 3 – (12th February) pending national developments. Our decision is fully supported by our governing body. Thus, the last day for all children is today. 

This sadly means, for the short term, we can only offer places to vulnerable children and children of key workers. This is to ensure safety ratios within what is a very difficult set of circumstances. If you feel your child falls into either of these two categories please telephone the office as soon as possible and we will add your child’s name to our register of eligible children and try our utmost to accommodate your requirements. Please click on the following link to check if you are a key worker –

I sincerely apologise for the inconvenience this causes and for the late notice that is out of our control. I hope you will appreciate our priority is the health and safety for all in our school community.

We will continue to support you through our website, Facebook page, email, Family Support team and telephone calls. Please do keep in touch and don’t hesitate to contact us if there is anything we can help you with.

We will contact you as soon as possible with arrangements for attendance.

Yours sincerely

Sarah
