A word from the Principal...
Welcome,
As we race towards the summer, it’s hard to believe that there is only half a term left of this academic
year. We are hoping that we will be able to begin returning to school on the 8th June, but
this will depend on the Government’s announcement on the 28th May. If their intention is to continue
with the opening, and we believe it is safe, we will send out a questionnaire to all EYFS, Y1 and
Y6 parents to ascertain the number of children we will be expecting in school so that we can plan
accordingly. At this time, we will share our plans for how our reopening will look and the procedures
we will have in place. We will continue to be open for children of key workers from the 1st June,
regardless of plans for further opening.
From the feedback we have received from parents and children, it was clear that more opportunity
for direct communication and collaboration was the main way we could enhance our provision.
As always, we try to act on feedback whenever we can and so your children should soon (if they
haven’t already) have the chance to be part of groups meetings via Zoom with their teachers and
peers. There are some exciting meetings that have been planned or have already taken place, including
quizzes, scavenger hunts and show and tell! Please ensure you look out for communication
from your class teacher about when these meetings will take place so that your child can be a part
of them.
Over half term, there is no expectation that your children continue working hard with their online
learning. It is important that you; your children and our staff have a break before a potentially very
busy final half term. However, your children will be set an optional activity or project that they can
complete during the half term break if they wish.
Thank you again for your support.
Stay safe,
Mr Adam Anderson
Principal
