• Updated Government advice re sending children to school

  Mon 11 Jan 2021

  Dear parents/carers,

   

  Some of you may be aware that the government updated their guidance on Friday evening to state that all parents and carers who are critical workers should keep their child(ren) at home if at all possible.

   

  Thank you to all of the critical worker parents and carers who have already been in contact with the school to say that they will no longer need the school place they originally booked and will now keep their child at home following this change in the government’s guidance. The number of children in schools this lockdown compared to the last has been highlighted as a concern in the news this weekend and the fewer children that are in school during this lockdown will mean that the risk of the virus spreading and infecting the school community is greatly reduced.

   

  We know that it can be very difficult for parents and carers to work from home while the children are there but we have designed our remote learning offer as best as we can to support this. We really appreciate your wonderful feedback in appreciation of these changes. Your support in keeping numbers in school as low as possible will really make a difference. Thank you!

   

  Best wishes,

• ESSENTIAL INFORMATION RE SCHOOL CLOSURE

  Mon 04 Jan 2021

  Dear parents/carers,    

   

  As you will no doubt be aware, the Prime Minister has tonight taken the decision to close schools to all but vulnerable children and children of critical workers. This means that face-to-face learning will cease for the vast majority of children and schools will move to remote learning instead until February half term at the earliest.    

   

  We have been given this information at the same time as the rest of the nation so, as I am sure you can appreciate given the late timing of the announcement, there are a number of plans that will need to be implemented and this takes time. This means that school WILL NOT be open to any children TOMORROW (Tuesday 5th January) whilst we set up for remote learning and get ready for vulnerable pupils and critical workers coming to school from Wednesday 6th January. We appreciate the significant inconvenience this will cause families whilst we make necessary arrangements and implement remote learning and apologise in advance.    

   

  If you or your partner are considered critical workers or your child is considered vulnerable AND you intend on sending your child(ren) in to school during this closure, please complete the following online form: https://www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/LCPSCWVFORM by 10am on Tuesday 5th January.  Please fill in a separate form for every child you are sending in.   

   

  (Government definitions for critical workers and vulnerable children are available here: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/coronavirus-covid-19-maintaining-educational-provision/guidance-for-schools-colleges-and-local-authorities-on-maintaining-educational-provision)     Further information will follow as soon as we receive guidance.    

   

  Thank you for your understanding. Stay safe.    

   

  Best wishes,
