From the helm...

Dear All

Welcome back, I hope that you have all had a good half-term break and I am

delighted that the children have come back ready to learn with lots of

enthusiasm.

As you will all be aware we are now in another period of lockdown and with

that comes a more important requirement to make sure we all follow the

rules. Please maintain your social distance when on site at all times. We are

doing all that we can to keep everyone safe and well in school and we would

really appreciate your help in supporting us to maintain our safety

measures—thank you.

Sadly as with all things COVID-19 related we have had to make a few

changes to the events we had planned, such as the school photographer

cancelling next week due to following Government advice. We will let you

know dates as soon as we can rearrange. Another change this week due to

COVID-19 is postponing of Archery/Shooting for QUEST, unfortunately the

Scouting organisation who support us with this had to cancel as they also

follow Government Guidance. Please do feel rest assured that your child

will be allocated into alternative activities until we can reinstate Archery/

Shooting—please can I ask you to bear with us—thank you.

Have a good weekend
