News and the like!

Hi Everyone,

Firstly, thanks to you all for embracing the home learning projects and activities. We are trying to provide a mix of both challenge and creativity to engage all types of learners; and hopefully reduce any family pressure over completion at the same time!  We have been inundated with thanks, positivity and kind words. especially following our video link yesterday; happy tears.

Our weekly teacher challenge has gone down well, keep sending the brilliance. Thanks also for embracing Zoom.. If you don’t have the link please email the home learning mail. I can safely say it is currently the best part of my week.

I wanted to mention the current topic of all news stories- reopening schools.

Of course this is incorrect in the first instance, as schools are open.

Whilst there is heightened media coverage suggesting many options, I wanted to reassure you that in the background I, along with all school leaders, are in consultation with the DFE, the LA, The Trust and the  unions. This is where the actualities are discussed.

Please rest assured that safety and wellbeing for all is at the front of these discussions, along with actual viability of any change to the current organisation.

Decisions will only be made so as not to contravene safety, your views will be sought, so please turn off the news and ignore the social media stories.

I will of course keep you updated at all times.

Enjoy the bank holiday sunshine; bring out the barbies or indoor picnics.

Take care

Kath Sansom
