Coronavirus: Key Workers
Dear Parent/Carer
Thank you to all those parents who have contacted school about their daughter’s attendance from Monday 23rd March.
The government have now released the list of ‘Key Workers’ who may continue to send their child to school during the school closures.
Please check your status on this list by following this link
Please note that the message from the government is as follows:
If children can stay safely at home, they should, to limit the chance of the virus spreading. That is why the government has asked parents to keep their children at home, wherever possible, and asked schools to remain open only for those children who absolutely need to attend.
Parents whose work is critical to the COVID-19 response include those who work in health and social care and in other key sectors outlined (in the link above). Many parents working in these sectors may be able to ensure their child is kept at home. And every child who can be safely cared for at home should be.”
In light of this, if you have contacted school but the situation has now changed, please contact us again as soon as possible.
For those who have not yet informed us that they are a key worker, and their daughter WILL be in school, please contact us by no later than 1pm today.
We will assume anyone who does not contact us WILL NOT be requiring school provision.
We are currently experiencing a high volume of calls to school we would ask that you e-mail the address below to confirm attendance from Monday. We have received numerous queries and are working on putting together a Frequently Asked Questions guidance, which we will publish as soon as we are able to.
