IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR ALL PARENTS & CARERS
On Monday 13th July I sent you our plans to reopen school from Wednesday September the 2nd 2020. On the following day (Tuesday 14th July) we were informed by the Local Authority that all schools will be able to take 3 exceptional closure days in the first week of the Autumn Term to close all or part of schools. This is to allow schools flexibility to support the safe return of students to school and, for example to welcome year groups back to school in a staggered and manageable way.
I am therefore writing to you today with regard to this allocation and proposals to enable students to return to school in a more effective and safe manner. This will now be staggered across the first week in September with all students returning by the 7th September. I realise that altering plans will not be ideal for some families, please see our rationale in the letter below. This information will also be posted to you with the end of year learning journeys in the coming week.
