Following a meeting of the Governing Body on Friday 5 June, a decision was reached to begin the wider reopening of school to two year groups only, Reception and Year 6. A provisional date has been set for the opening of school to Year 1 pupils on the 29th June, however, this will depend greatly on the uptake of places for Reception and Year 6. Below are letters detailing how this will run along with plans, instructions and important information on how this will be managed.
Please note that as the wider reopening begins (from the 15th June) we will only be able to offer provision for 4 days a week (Monday – Thursday) including key worker childcare starting from Monday 15th June.
School will remain closed to all pupils every Friday.
If you have already made your class teacher aware that you wish you child to return to one of these year groups, they will be in touch with you this week to confirm your place and discuss which bubble and staff you child has been allocated against. At present, we have allocated all places to those pupils identified. Children who have not been allocated a place will not be able to attend until arrangements are in place to open up further groups and staffing is in place to meet this need.
