Noticeboard

Letter from the principal 16 March

Mon 16 Mar 2020 Miss C

Dear Parents/Guardians
In line with the advice given by the government, the school remains open - at this stage! However, it seems inevitable that we will be instructed to close.
With that in mind I would like all parents to take note of the following:
- School is closed until Wednesday
-School will operate as normal on Wednesday
- pupils who have a new cold or are displaying symptoms should NOT be sent to school and should be isolated for 7 days
- If your child has any underlying medical condition which makes them particularly vulnerable, then you as their parent/ guardian should decide if you should send them

Should we receive new information and advice on this issue we will inform you as soon as possible.
We appreciate that this is a very worrying time for everyone and fully respect any decision by parents who wish to withdraw their children for the foreseeable future due to health concerns.

Thank you for your continued support and understanding.

Year 4/5 had a fabulous day with their friends from St Joseph’s at Castleward. They learnt what it was like during World War 2 for evacuee children and had great fun playing with toys and games from that era. Thanks to all the staff at Castleward for making our visit so enjoyable. #smallschoolbigheart
