Information has been sent home with children regarding the Seesaw Family app. (Please note this is a different app to the one used during lockdown.) Please see the 'Notes' section of the 'Parents' menu for an overview letter. You need an individual invite sheet to link you to your child's account. If you have any difficulties or haven't received your personalised invite, please get in touch with Miss Marshall through the school office.

Dear Parent/Guardian,

 

I wish to inform you that a member of our school community has tested positive for Covid-19.

 

I have sought the most up-to-date advice from the Public Health Agency (PHA) and ensured that the affected area in the school remains closed and will now undergo an enhanced clean. The pupils and staff that are affected have been notified separately and will now be required to isolate for a period of 14 days in line with advice from PHA.

 

I do appreciate the concerns of parents, pupils and the wider school community and wish to reassure you that every precaution has been taken.

 

Ensuring the safe return of pupils and staff to school is my absolute priority and I will continue to monitor this situation carefully and keep you informed.

 

Please note - school remains open for other classes.

 

Parents with any questions or concerns are welcome to contact myself or Miss Marshall (VP) on 02890705122.

 

Kind regards,

 

J Currie

Parent – Pupil survey. We’d love you to complete this survey with your child to help us in our final preparations for the start of the new school year.

Many thanks
