SCHOOL CLOSED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE
MESSAGE FROM AVRIL
Dear Parents and Carers,
As we are sure you are all aware by now, all schools have been closed until 22nd February. We will remain open for vulnerable children and the children of key workers. All other children are being educated remotely. Free School Meals vouchers will be only be made available to families who qualify for benefits-related support. In order to look after our wonderful nursery staff, many of whom are clinically vulnerable, we are unable to provide nursery provision at this moment, but we are supporting key worker and vulnerable nursery children in school and are providing online materials for all nursery children. It is our intention to open the full nursery as soon as it is safe to do so. Please don't hesitate to get in touch with us if you need any further advice or support.
In the meantime, stay safe and well in these challenging times, and looking forward to a happier and healthier future for us all.
With very best wishes,
Avril, Staff and Governors.
