Dear Parents/Guardians

I hope you are all keeping well and safe.
We would ask that you try to keep engaged with school work for the last few weeks of school and then take a proper break from school work once we get our holidays on June 22nd.

Teachers will be completing school reports as normal and you should receive these by post in the third/fourth week of June. Unfortunately, the reports will not be as comprehensive as usual as standardized tests were cancelled throughout all schools and teachers will not have end of year testing done. However, much of the curriculum will have been completed and teachers will be giving an accurate assessment for your child’s progress throughout the year.
As of yet, we have not received any information as to how schools will open and operate in September. Whatever happens, can I reassure you that our school will do our best to support all the children.

We are now midway through Phase 1 of the easing of Covid-19 restrictions. Hopefully, we will enter Phase 2 on June 8th. However, this will only happen if everybody adheres to the guidelines in place. We can all see how busier and faster the roads are since May 18th and how much busier town and the shops are. It was highlighted by the government at an early stage that people would get tired of the restrictions and fall back into old habits. Now is a good time for us all to take a fresh look at the guidelines and make sure that we are maintaining high standards:

  • Stay at home – this is still the key message for everyone except for essential journeys

  • Hand washing – are we washing our hands regularly and for 20 seconds?

  • Social Distancing – are we keeping 2m apart?

  • Meeting small groups outside – four people are now permitted to meet outside. This is a wonderful opportunity for your children to meet up with their friends. However, this needs to be supervised by parents at all times. They must still keep 2 metres apart and is not easy to do in practice

  • Outdoor Spaces – beaches and walks are now open. Please take advantage of this while maintaining social distancing

We all want to return to normal as soon as possible. We especially want our schools to be open in September. We ask for everyone to work together over the coming weeks to make this a reality.

Keep well and stay safe.

Regards,

​Mr. Hayes
