Letter to parents and carers re Autumn term 2020
In September we plan to welcome all students back to school from Wednesday 2nd September 2020.
As a Senior Leadership team we have been working on plans for the return of all children to school in September. Throughout this pandemic we have worked successfully with our community to ensure they feel listened to and their concerns and thoughts are taken into consideration and all have remained safe. We have received praise for our clear, effective and timely communications, ensuring everyone feels able to make informed decisions and plan accordingly. This is something we do not want to sacrifice now, as many parents are, rightly, asking questions regarding the September start.
To this end we have made specific plans based on the ‘Guidance for full opening: special schools and other specialist settings’ published on 2nd July 2020. For details, please see (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/guidance-for-full-opening-special-schools-and-other-specialist-settings).
Please see the letter above for full information.
