School Closure October 2020

14th Oct 2020

Dear Parents/Carers

As many of you are aware from the news today,schools will be closed to all pupils from Monday 19th October for an extended Halloween break in order to provide a "circuit breaker" in controlling the spread of Covid 19. Please note there may need to be changes to the school holiday list posted on Seesaw earlier this term to facilitate this extended break.

During the week beginning 19th October direct payments will be made to pupils in receipt of Free School Meals.

The Minister for Education has stated that this is an extended holiday period therefore no remote learning is required. Schools plan to reopen for pupils on Monday 2nd November.

It has been a challenging time for the school, coping with staff and pupil absences, so we hope that this time will give everyone a chance to regroup, recover and be ready for the months ahead. Thank you for all your support in ensuring our school community stays safe.
