Following the news that England and the rest of the UK is now in another full lock-down with immediate effect, we confirm that school is closed until at least mid February.
The Government's message is as it was in March - Stay At Home. In order to stop the spread of the virus, people should only leave their homes for exercise, necessary food shopping and essential work. This now includes school-aged children.
Schools are asked to open only to pupils of "Key Worker" parents and vulnerable families. Parents have already been asked to request a place for their child if they are classed as a Key Worker ASAP. These places should only be requested if there is no other adult available for the child to safely remain at home. Our Breakfast Club will have to remain closed during this lockdown period.
We are working out bubbles, timetables and completing risk assessments on how to provide places with the health and safety of pupils and staff as our priority.
We thank you for your patience and understanding during this difficult time. Please stay safe.
