Dear Parent/Carer,

In order to ensure that we prepare the correct number of packed lunches can I ask that you book a packed lunch for collection next week beginning 30th March 2020.

The packed lunches are available to those pupils who would be eligible for a free school meal. They are not available as universal infant meals.

If you are in receipt of one of the benefits listed below you will be eligible to book a packed lunch for collection.

  • Income Support;
  • Income Based Jobseekers Allowance;
  • Income -related Employment and Support Allowance (ESA);
  • Your income does not exceed £16.190,
  • Guaranteed Element of State Pension Credit.
  • Universal Credit

You can book a packed lunch for next week by calling the school on 4244859 or e mailing at [email protected]

If you do not book a packed lunch then there may not be one available for you to collect. Thank you

Take care

Andrea Willis

Important information following lockdown announcement

Dear Parents/Carers,

Following Monday’s government announcement whereby you should stay at home wherever possible and the fact that many places of work have closed down I am sending this letter in order for us all to have clarification of those entitled to continuing childcare provision at school. I urge you all to review your circumstances in relation to a request for an ongoing school place and only request a place if you are in one of the Government identified categories and have no other provision for your child.

The advice is clear the safest place for your child is at home. The government have stated that the fewer of us who are having to make the journey to school then the safer it will be for our entire community.

We must all play our part and be responsible. If you are now working from home then your child should be too.

Could I ask that those of you who believe themselves to be in a key worker category or any other identified category to telephone me at school on 0191 4244859 or email at [email protected] to book a continued place next week.

I will insist that you provide evidence from your employer of your key worker role.If you have not already done so please provide this evidence as soon as possible as your child will not be accepted in school without it.

Please note children will need 14 days self isolation if they or anyone in their family have symptoms.

I ask everyone, be responsible, look after yourself, your family and others and

ONLY SEND YOUR CHILD TO SCHOOL IF THERE REALLY IS NO OTHER OPTION

Let’s all play our part, follow advice and come through this together.

Stay safe and many thanks for your continued support.

Kindest regards

Andrea Willis

Headteacher
