Dear Parents and Carers,
Although late in the evening, I wanted to get in touch with you all as soon as possible, to communicate our plans following tonight’s government announcement that all school’s will move to remote learning. This means that our school has been asked to close for the majority of pupils, apart from children of critical key workers and those children deemed vulnerable. In order for school staff and leaders to set this up safely and effectively, we will need to be closed to all pupils tomorrow. I am aware this is not ideal and am equally frustrated, however I hope you will understand that it would be unsafe to expect staff to set this up overnight ready for tomorrow morning. Our staff are striving to provide the best online learning they can and will need tomorrow to ensure they can offer high quality provision. We will be in touch with you tomorrow morning with further details of critical key worker emergency childcare and our online learning provision.
Many thanks for your ongoing messages of support and your continued understanding in these difficult times.
Yours Sincerely
Clare Allsopp
