14 May Government updates
Earlier this week the Prime Minister set out the next steps in the government’s response to Coronavirus. Currently Step 2 will see the phased re-opening of schools in June 2020, beginning with children in Reception, Year 1 and Year 6. Only if infection rates and the government’s other tests at the time allow it.
We are also being asked by the Department for Education to prepare to open for more children during the course of the final half term.
Our overriding consideration is the safety and well-being of all our students, parents and staff.
We will be using the next two weeks to make sure we manage the process of reopening in a structured, calm manner and that we have all sensible measures in place to ensure our school will be a safe place for your child to return to.
As always, we will be guided by what is published by the government. It is important to note that guidance updates are regular and change. We therefore ask Parents and Carers for their continuing patience and we will keep you informed as soon as we are confident and satisfied with the surety of the details.
Currently we are awaiting further specific guidance for schools from the Government and this, we hope, will contain updated direction for Middle Schools.
In the meantime we will continue to deliver the pupils home learning timetable through Google Classroom and offer support for any difficulties that arise within our school community.
Thank you for your continued support.
