Good Morning, 

I hope that you all had a good half term break. 

It is a very worrying and unsettling time at the moment but we hope that you take some comfort in the fact that schools are remaining open and your children can continue to receive their education.

I would like to reassure that we have been commended by our Improvement Partner for our COVID procedures and this has undoubtedly been a positive factor in all our 'bubbles' remaining in school last half term. We aim for this to be the case this half term too. 

In light of the imminent lockdown and rising case numbers I will be asking all staff who meet and greet at the classroom door to wear a face mask or a visor. I politely ask you to try and keep at least a 1 metre distance when speaking with our staff. I do hope that you understand. 

If and when I receive any further guidance from the Department of Education I will of course let you know. 

Take care and stay safe. 

Mrs O'Connell
