Our pupils get so much from learning about Holy Week and the Easter Story and there are some wonderful activities that you could enjoy at home.

Dear Parents and Carers,
We have now received further guidance from the local authority. The following plans are now being put into place.
From today (20.03.20), all schools will close to their pupils. On Monday, all schools will open to provide care / recreation / learning for children of essential workers.
This is the local authority’s list of essential workers:
Many thanks for all who have filled in the online form. If you are a worker within these essential services from the above list, please be prepared to prove this.
“Grab & Go” Bags (consisting of a sandwich made from wholemeal bread (ham/cheese/jam), fruit , biscuit and a drink) will be provided for all our free school meal pupils. Kitchen staff will be aware of any allergies. These can be collected every day from school at 11.45. If your child travels by school bus, grab and go bags can be collected from the nearest primary school.
Please ensure that any child who has been absent from school this week/ family members that are in isolation due to symptoms, do not return to school until after the 14 day period has passed. This is in line with NHS guidelines and to ensure that we continue to safeguard our pupils and staff.
I am sure that you will agree that the local authority has worked extremely hard at putting these measures in place and we are extremely grateful for everything that they are doing for our families at this very difficult time.
Many thanks to all of you for your support during this extremely challenging time.
Please keep each other in your prayers.
Ms J. Beaumont
Mrs S. Turner
