Roose Community Primary School North Row Barrow-in-Furness Cumbria LA13 0HF Telephone: 01229 838841 e-mail: admin@roose.cumbria.sch.uk website: www.rooseprimary.co.uk Headteacher: Mrs Wendy R Jacobs
22 March 2020 Dear Parents and Carers, It is with great sadness that I write to inform you that our Headteacher Mrs Jacobs passed away today. This is devastating news for our school and nursery community and all our thoughts and sympathies are with her family. We are all in shock, and given these exceptional circumstances we have taken the decision to close the school and nursery fully tomorrow to all pupils, including those of essential workers. I am sure you will understand that opening the school and nursery is not an option. We would recommend that all children are kept at home tomorrow. This is a huge loss to our school, nursery and our community and I will be in touch as soon as possible to explain how we will celebrate Mrs Jacob’s life and contribution. Yours sincerely, Fred Chatfield Chair of Governors
