  Dear Parents / Carers,

   

  I hope you had a safe and enjoyable Christmas. May I wish you a very Happy New Year and hope that 2021 brings us back to some sort of normality.

   

  Welcome to Miss Basson who will be teaching in Year 6 and Mrs Hart who will be working as a Teaching assistant in Year 4. Miss Vooght has also joined us as a teacher in Year 3, she will be covering 3MW when Miss McKinley begins maternity leave over the next few weeks.

   

  You may have seen on the news the debate as to whether primary schools should remain open. Over the holidays the school has been in regular contact with BCP Local Authority and Department for Education, right up to Sunday evening. The Department for Education has advised Primary Schools that we will remain open. If further news is received then it will be posted on the school website.

   

  After discussions with BCP Local Authority this morning, at this time there is no guidance as to which Keyworkers would continue to be offered face to face tuition in the event of a school closure.

   

  Home Learning

  As a contingency plan, in the event of the school being shut, from today the teachers will be sending Home Learning workbooks home, writing equipment and various log ins for computer programmes such as Times Tables Rockstars and MyMaths. Please check with your child that they have brought home their workbook and writing equipment.

   

  Dropping off and Collecting children:

   

  The school has been asked by parents whether they are allowed to wear face coverings on the school site if they so wish. We would welcome face coverings being worn by visiting adults whilst being on the school premises
