Dear Parents and Carers,

You should have received a letter via email on Monday 11th May, letting you know that we are working on responding to the Governments announcement on the 10th May. To see these letters, please see the newsletter section of the website. 

We waited for the guidance to come out and when it did on Monday 11th in the evening, it also included Nursery in the year groups that would return first. 

 As you know, we have been open throughout this period, offering childcare for children of Keyworkers. We have also been working hard on providing home learning, regular contact and support for vulnerable families. More than anything, we want our children to be back at school and we want to be teaching our children in the way we always do. However, we know that whilst Covid-19 still exists in such prevalence, we cannot teach in the same way that we have done before. 

Therefore any wider opening of school has to be carefully planned - for the safety of all children, staff and parents. We are busy completing a very detailed risk assessment so that we can consider what we can safely provide. As this is ready, we will share with parents. 

To help us in this process we really need an idea of your thoughts. We will then make sure that we consider these when we are planning. 

Please look out for the Parent Survey that we will be circulating in a letter as a link later today via email - this will also be tweeted and the letter with link will be on the website today. 

We know this is a difficult time for all of our families and we are so grateful that you have stayed in touch with us. You are doing a fantastic job, thank you. 

Best wishes,

Sarah Murray
