Coronavirus Update - Headteachers Letter

Dear Parent(s)/Carer(s)

Re: Coronavirus update - school closure

Following on from my last update, I’m now writing to let you know that we have been instructed to close the school after this Friday until further notice.

As advised by the government, we will do all we can to stay open for the children of key workers (e.g. NHS staff, police, social workers/supermarket worker/delivery drivers,teachers,and postal workers others in frontline services) and children with certain needs. We are waiting for government to publish more information on what this means, but it would help us in the meantime if you would let us know if you think your child may fall into one of these categories – please refer to communication sent out by Mrs M O’Neill Assistant Headteacher.

All other children will need to stay at home, so we ask that you do not send your child into school from Monday onwards.

Please note that this is a national closure – as you may have heard in the news – so while it is a challenging situation, we are not alone. We’ll re-open fully as soon as we can and will let you know when this is by the text/school website/school official social media

What we’ll continue doing while your child is at home Your child’s learning is of course important to us, so we’ll continue to help your child to learn.

If your child usually receives free school meals we will also be in touch with more information about how we will provide this, with support from a scheme that the government will announce.

If you want to get in touch to share your concerns, please don’t hesitate to do this via school email address info@allsaintschs.org.uk

And remember: if you or your child feels ill and you want to know what to do next, please use NHS 111online.

Thank you again for your continued support, and we will be in touch with more information when we can.

Yours sincerely

Mr T McGuinness Headteacher
