Dear Parents/Carers,
Information for KeyWorker/Vulnerable Children attending school during lockdown
✓ avoiding contact with anyone with COVID -19 symptoms
✓ frequent hand cleaning and good respiratory hygiene practices
✓ regular cleaning of settings
✓ minimising contact and mixing It is still important to reduce contact between children and adults as much as possible, and we can achieve that and reduce transmission risk by ensuring children and staff where possible, only mix in a small, consistent group and that small group stays away from other people and groups.
*Please note that if a child or member of staff tests positive for COVID-19, then the bubble will all be sent home
Many Thanks

Welcome back everyone, although this half term looks very different to the one we all imagined we are all still here for you the same as always.
Please keep checking your child’s class page and YouTube channel for daily educational activities and videos to engage in at home; if you need paper copies of these activities then please contact us and we will get that delivered to you. Continue sending us your child’s home learning so we can share it when we get back together again; but, for now, stay home and stay safe! ❤️

Dear Parents/Carers,
As you may have seen in the news, the government have instructed our school to close from tomorrow and provide remote learning to all our pupils. We are absolutely devastated for our children and families to go through this again but we will be again with you every step of the way.
We’ll only be able to stay open for vulnerable children and the children of critical workers. All other children will need to continue their learning from home until the restrictions are lifted.
You can find details of our plans for remote learning here:
If your child is eligible for free school meals, they’ll continue to receive these while at home by offering a pick up packed lunch meal again. Please could you contact the office before 10am then we can prepare it for you ready to collect at 11.45pm.
A reminder of the definitions of ‘vulnerable children’ and ‘critical workers’
Vulnerable children are those who:
Critical workers are those who work in:
If your child attended during last lockdown, the school will open from 8am-3.30pm tomorrow and will have a place. Please can you contact me if your child is coming to school so that we can prepare for numbers. We will still provide breakfast club and can provide a cooked school dinner.
If your circumstances have changed and you believe you are now a front-line critical worker, please email: d.lee103@durhamlearning.net outlining what your role is as soon as possible. Please note that priority will be given to those families where both parents are front-line critical workers.
If you have any questions or concerns, please contact me by email on d.lee103@durhamlearning.net.
Thankyou again from the bottom of my heart to you all for persevering and continuing to work with our different ways of operation. I would also like to thank our wonderful staff again for their positive attitudes and readiness to respond to requests and go above and beyond to make sure we do the best we can for the children. Also a huge thank you to our wonderful children, who have been fantastic during these difficult times. I am so proud to be Head Teacher of our amazing little school- it’s a huge team effort with you fantastic parents/carers, children, staff and governors all working together.
Thank you again for your continued support.
