Dear Parents and Carers,

 

I am writing to update you regarding the isolation for Year 5.

 

I have contacted the Local Authority for the most up to date advice. As it stands, the isolation begins from the last point of contact with school and that was yesterday. Therefore the 10 days isolation begins from today and lasts until the end of Friday 23rd July.

 

If however, the results of the follow-up PCR test are negative, we will be able to re-open Year 5. We will not have this information for a couple of days. I will update you when we do have this information.

Work will be set in the form of a Knowledge Organiser on Google Classroom at 8am tomorrow morning. We have chosen to set work this way because if the children were in school, they would be taking part in less structured activities as we head towards the end of term with 6 days left. If you have lost your password, please email the class email address and either Mrs West or Miss Hook will let you know.

The school reports for Y5 children will be sent home with siblings today. If you have a neighbour/friend who is also a family at our school and you would like them to drop them round to you, please email office2@yaptonschool.org by 1pm tomorrow to let us know. Any reports that remain, will either be posted to you or possibly delivered to you by school staff.

 

I realise that this is disappointing to end the school year in this way, but we are not alone in this, many schools are having to close bubbles this week. Please keep the family concerned in your thoughts and prayers and I thank them for such speedy communication and thoughtfulness for the other children.

We have contacted Chartwells our food provider and are awaiting response from them regarding those children who are isolating who are entitled to free school meals. I will let you know when I have their response. The usual holiday vouchers will be ordered by the end of term.

 

If we can help in any way, please email us using office2@yaptonschool.org .

 

Take care

Kim Huggett
