Dear Parents and Carers,

 

COVID-19

I am writing to you with the latest information I can share with you regarding the Coronavirus pandemic. We are following the Government and Department for Education directives in keeping school open whilst encouraging regular handwashing and avoiding non-essential ‘large gatherings’.

 

We have taken the decision to cancel the following events in the next few weeks:

Tuesday 17^th March – Year 3 collective worship

Wednesday 18^th March – Reception assembly

Tuesday 24^th March – Year 1 Collective worship

Wednesday 25^th March – Drama production of ‘Ali Baba and the Bongo Bandits’

Thursday 26^th March – Year 5 Mass at GA Church

Thursday 26^th March - Drama production of ‘Ali Baba and the Bongo Bandits’

Thursday 2^nd April – Parents evening – postponed – more details to follow

Monday 6^th April – Joint Lenten Service with OLOL for Year 3 and 4 children

Tuesday 7^th April – Year 2 Collective worship

Wednesday 8^th April – Friends of OLOL Chocolate Bingo night

 

We have a number of children currently off school with illnesses and I thank those parents for being vigilant and keeping to the guidelines set by the Government. If your child has a persistent cough and temperature they will need to remain at home for a 7 day period. If they develop these symptoms in school, we will try to remove them from the main body of the class until they can be picked up to avoid spreading the infection to others. The relative success of these measures will absolutely rely upon parents following this advice.

 

We will review the ongoing situation every day and keep parents and carers informed at every stage through the school's App and the school's website.  Thank you to everyone for your patience and understanding with this ongoing situation.

 

Kind regards,

JE Davies

Mrs J.E. Davies
