Good afternoon everybody,

 

I hope you've enjoyed the sunshine this weekend. Firstly, thank you all for your support and understanding last Friday. We never make the decision to close school lightly; however, we must prioritise the health and well-being of the school community.

 

To confirm, we are reopening on Monday 31st March. On Friday the school had an enhanced deep clean and will have another deep clean in the morning before children return.  We will continue to liaise public health throughout the next few days, following our return. I'm sure you can appreciate that it's difficult to predict the number of children who may have symptoms and are not in school until registers are completed in the mornings. In terms of sports competitions and events next week, we are unable to confirm whether these will or won't go ahead at the moment. We will make the decision, taking the advice of public health, when we know further information tomorrow. 

 

If your child has had any symptoms in the last 48 hours, please do not send them into school. They can only return when they have not had any episodes for 48 hours. We must work together to help protect the children, families and staff. Thank you. 

 

Fingers crossed the additional day will have broken the infection cycle and mean we can return to normal, for all of our sanity!

 

Enjoy the rest of the evening, 

 

Mr Beacham
