 Dear Parents and Carers, 


Even though it seems a long time ago already, I hope you all had a lovely Christmas and managed to spend and enjoy some quality time with your children and family, despite it not being the Christmas we had all hoped for.

As you know, we have now been placed into Tier 4 with greater and stricter restrictions. This has resulted in school remaining partially open only to those children of critical workers, children with an Educational Health Care Plan and our most vulnerable pupils. For all other pupils who must remain at home, daily lessons are now being provided remotely for all year groups via Purple Mash; please see the accompanying Home Learning Information available on the school website and blog which provides guidance for you all to support your child with their home learning.

We ask that parents of all children at home encourage them to access this remote learning on a daily basis.; it is vitally important that learning continues for all children to ensure they make the best possible progress during this period of lockdown. Class teachers will be checking to make sure all pupils are engaging with this work and if we are concerned that any are not, we shall be contacting you to offer further support / advice.

Please let us know as soon as possible if you are having difficulty accessing online learning from home as we may be able to offer further support. Class teachers can be contacted through the year group emails attached below. Alternatively, if you require a paper copy learning pack, please also let us know as you will be able to come into school to collect one.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank all members of our school community for their commitment and dedication in following Government guidance throughout these extremely challenging times.

Any confirmed cases of Coronavirus in school are immediately reported to the Department for Education and Public Health England who tell us what action needs to be taken. As previously, we will keep you fully informed of any positive cases within the school community, with those who need to self-isolate for 10 days, being the first to be contacted.

Thank you to all of you for your continued support. Please stay safe and try to remain optimistic; let’s keep our fingers crossed that 2021 brings a positive outcome to end these unprecedented times.


King regards,

Mrs Sarah Jack
