We have heard from the Prime Minister this afternoon, that sadly schools will not be opening after half term. I know everyone, staff, children and parents, were hoping to be back to the ‘new’ normal after the February half term, but it is clearly vitally important that everyone continues to follow the government’s restrictions so that we can reduce the cases to a safe level. Yesterday’s terribly sad announcement of over 100,000 people having lost their lives to this virus really puts things into perspective.
We have 2 more weeks before children, parents and staff can have a very well-deserved week’s half term break, and then it will hopefully be just 2 more weeks operating as we currently are, before schools start to open.
We would like to thank parents for their support and understanding and also like to reassure parents that we are doing the very best we can to ensure children can maintain their learning whilst also fully understanding the challenges that parents and families have in trying to juggle their many different commitments.
We will continue to try and further enhance the social contact if we can, and are more than happy to listen to any ideas or suggestions.
