Letter from The Headteacher

1 April 2021

Dear Parents

I just wanted to write to you to wish you a Happy Easter. I hope that you and your family experience the joys of the Resurrection over this wonderful season. It has been another extraordinary term; thank you for your support and patience over lockdown; home learning, mass testing and our return to school. We can be truly proud of our school’s response to the challenges of COVID-19. The children have shown great resilience in their return. I am sure that you will join me in thanking our committed and hardworking teachers and support staff.

Please watch our Easter music video ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5P1G15xbOII ). It is a celebration by our Music and IT support departments and is a message of hope; it is so lovely.

• Wednesday 7th April 2021

• Sunday 11th April 2021

Please ensure you continue to record your test results ( https://tinyurl.com/ymp4wuyr ). Please also continue to report the results to the NHS ( https://www.gov.uk/report-covid19-result ).

Reporting Positive Cases of COVID-19 During the Easter Break
If your child tests positive for COVID-19 during the half-term break, can you please ensure that you inform Dr Tuohy by emailing: This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.. If we are informed of a positive COVID case in the next few days, it is possible that you will hear from us should your child be a close contact.

Thank you for your continued support. We are looking forward to the summer term with optimism, prepared for any bumps in the road we may experience. Happy Easter!

Yours sincerely

Richard Varey
Headteacher
