Dear Parents/Carers,
I am sure that after the Prime Ministers statement tonight, you may well have lots of questions. We have lots of questions that need clarification too!
At the moment there is no change to the guidance. We will continue to provide care for those parents whose work is critical to the Covid-19 response. The message is still that it is safer to stay at home.
We have not received any information to support us with this new plan to start the phased reopening of some year groups, and we expect that we will receive further information from the Department of Education shortly, hopefully with some clarification of how these plans are expected to be implemented.
We will need clear guidance to plan how it is possible to social distance in schools and keep our children, staff and families safe; how we might start to phase groups of children returning and what this looks like. Please be assured that there is no way we will reopen until we are 100% prepared.
As always, we will keep you informed, but for now, please try not to worry. A lot hinges on what happens in the next few weeks. Our plan for now is to continue to provide learning activities for you to access at home, to be here if you need to contact us, and help support you in these difficult and uncertain times.
