Newsletter 4.2.22
Dear Parent / carer
Unfortunately, Covid cases are rising steadily in school and we now have 20% of our children absent for this reason. Staffing levels have dropped considerably in at least one class over the last two days, which is why we have taken the decision to move our Year 5 bubble to remote learning from Monday. This decision will be reviewed on Wednesday morning and I urge parents to check messages on Wednesday afternoon. Currently, one other class is also in danger of moving to remote learning due to low staff numbers and the senior leadership team, alongside our school governors are continuing to monitor the situation daily.
We continue to follow the LEA guidance and are washing hands regularly, maintaining social distancing and wearing facial coverings around school. Please be vigilant for signs and symptoms at home and if your child has any of the 3 main symptoms please complete a lateral flow test. We have noticed that many of the absent children have complained of a headache and an upset tummy so this could also be a sign that they are poorly. If you would like the latest guidance around self-isolation, you can find it here:

I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for supporting us, these decisions have to be made quickly and the situation is ever-changing. We promise to give you as much notice as possible and we thank you for your continued support.
