Dear Parents / Carers

Due to the increasing numbers of Covid 19 cases across school, together with pupils experiencing the winter vomiting bug (norovirus), the School has taken advice and will close on Thursday 20th January 2022 and Friday 21st January 2022 for a deep clean. School will reopen on Monday 24th January 2022.

Learning for Thursday 20th January and Friday 21st January will be delivered remotely.

We request that all pupils returning to school on Monday 24th January take a Lateral Flow Test to ensure a negative result and that you carefully read the norovirus guidance letter sent out earlier today. Please do not return children to school who may be experiencing any symptoms of either Covid19 or Norovirus.

We thank you for your support and understanding in this matter,

Kind Regards,

K Bracebridge

Executive Headteacher
