Dear Parents and Carers,
We have certainly been getting into the Christmas spirit this week. The kitchen staff have cooked over 600 Christmas Dinners which were enjoyed by children and staff. Father Christmas made a surprise appearance and Christmas parties were in full swing yesterday afternoon.
January Return to School
You will be aware that following the move to Plan B, there is currently a lot of speculation regarding the introduction of further measures in response to the growing numbers of positive COVID-19 cases locally and nationally. The DfE have confirmed that there are currently no plans to introduce further measures in education settings, but we know from experience that this position can change at short notice. We are expecting to and are looking forward to welcoming the children back to school on Wednesday 5th January. Should we be made aware of any changes in guidance or measures before returning to school in January, we will keep you informed via email.
The National School Breakfast Programme
After the Christmas break, we will be starting the National School Breakfast programme. The National School Breakfast Programme is funded by the Department for Education and run by Family Action to support schools in England to provide children with a healthy breakfast at the start of the school day. Our school will now be offering breakfast bagels, every morning, in the classroom, from Nursery to Yr6.
