Dear Parents/Carers,

 

Update on Children Returning

 

The Government announced last week that schools will not be directed to admit more year groups of children this term, recognising the logistical problems that all schools face in teaching all children in smaller groups.

 

In the absence of any further guidance, we have carefully considered how to best meet the needs of all children in this school. We are worried that children in Years 2,3,4 and 5 have had no opportunity to be in school with their peers and teachers, since March. To address this we have planned the following for the remainder of Term 6:

 

• Our Key Worker Group will continue in school until the end of term - Friday 17th July.
• Children currently in our Reception, Year 1 and Year 6 Groups will finish 1 week early - Friday 10th July
• Children in Year 2, 3, 4 and 5 will be invited into school for the week beginning Monday 13th July and finish on Friday 17th July (some year groups may start on Tuesday 14th July). All children will be taught in smaller ‘bubbles’ like children in school presently. 

We are sure that parents in Years Rec, 1 and 6 understand that by finishing 1 week early, we are giving the rest of the school an opportunity to spend time in school before the end of the academic year.

 

We hope that this plan will give all children the opportunity to finish their school year together, feeling happier and looking forward to a summer holiday, the new school year or for Year 6) their new secondary school.

We will share details of these new arrangements in the coming weeks.

 

We will continue to keep you updated of our plans and any relevant Government announcements. 

Yours sincerely

Matt Condon
