Mr IJ McDonald
Dear Parents Carers,
You’re Doing Great! I need to start my update for this week by just saying a HUGE well done and even bigger THANK YOU! The staff and I have just been overwhelmed with the positivity and engagement from you all in the Online Learning being delivered through Microsoft Teams! We all look forward to the time when we won’t need Teams (or Remote Learning at all!) and school can get back to normal with all the children in. But until then you are simply doing an incredible job supporting your children with their learning at home!
Half-Term Arrangements/No Access to Teams School will be closing for half-term next Thursday (11th February) and will re-open for Key Worker/Vulnerable pupils and Online Learning will restart from Monday 22 nd February. School has been fully staffed this half-term with teachers and support staff delivering online teaching to children at home and in-class learning to key worker/vulnerable pupils (we have regularly had around 30-40% of pupils attending each day, fully respecting social distance guidance in school) since the start of the Lockdown at the beginning of January. Pupils will not be able to access Microsoft Teams from approximately 4pm on 11th February until the morning of 22nd February. I will remind parents about this in my update next week as well. Many Thanks for Your Ongoing Support Mr McDonald
