The Ketley launch will be on Saturday March 5th at the Ketley community centre and the Overdale launch has a potential save the date of Saturday 30th April, location is to be confirmed.

Dear Parents/Carers,

Just a quick message to warn everyone that we are suffering very significant staff shortages due to teachers and cover teachers testing positive.

We have managed to cover today by rejigging people, but I just want to make everyone aware that we are potentially looking at having to close a year group and moving them to online learning should we have to.

It is so hard to give much notice for this, as very often we don’t know that staff are not going to be in until the morning they test positive.

I absolutely know how inconvenient this would be for working parents and also know that children get so much more from face-to-face teaching, so we will continue to try our best to keep fully operational.

I just wanted to give parents the heads up so they can start thinking about possible childcare issues should we have to move some children to online learning.

We will of course keep you posted and in the meantime, help us by not risking sending your child to school if they are displaying symptoms and by testing regularly.

Thank you for your ongoing support during this ongoing challenging time.

Miss Cook
