Dear Parents/Carers,
I hope that you and your loved ones are still well and are enjoying some of the freedoms after the lockdown period. Thank you for your cooperation with the organisation of school at this difficult time. Now that we have invited N, R, Y1, Y2 Y5 and Y6 into school, classes are now at capacity until we open in September. We cannot now take any more pupils into any of the year groups from tomorrow 30 June for the last two weeks of term. We look forward to welcoming all pupils in September. We will see Year 3 and Year 4 on the two transition days – please confirm your decision for these as soon as possible so that we can plan in good time. We hope that those parents who have elected to keep children at home will continue with the home-learning zone until 17 July when the holiday starts.
From September attendance at school will be compulsory so we are now in the process of planning for a safe return for everyone. The detail of this will be sent out before the end of term and again safety will remain a priority. Our organisation has worked well so far and about two thirds of the school are enjoying time back in small classes. We are catching up on work missed and children are enjoying their discreet year group play-times when they can socialise with friends. The Department For Education has told schools that the childcare for key workers and the vulnerable will finish at the end of term in July and parents will need to make their own arrangements for the summer break as childminders will be operating with precautions in place. Beecroft will be closed over the summer for a thorough clean.
As soon as the full planning for Beecroft is in place, and in line with new guidance that we are expecting from the government this week, I will let you know.
Thanks you again for your support which has been very much appreciated over the period from 1 June.
Best wishes,
J. Turner
