Dear Parents and Carers,

Firstly and most importantly we hope you are keeping well and coping during these continuing uncertain and difficult times.

We also hope that the regular contact you have been receiving from your class teacher and class teams has been appropriate and given you the support you need in the way you need it. The feedback we have received has been positive so we hope this continues moving forward.

As you know Northway has remained open throughout this lockdown period for a small number of children.

As we now start to look forward you can be reassured that for all of us in school the safety and wellbeing of pupils and adults will continue to be our priority. We will thoroughly risk assess and will very carefully consider how we group the pupils and what activities we are able to provide for them. The timetable will continue to be informal with a lot of outside play.

So in order for us to devise a practical, workable model, which follows all the available advice and guidelines, it would be helpful for us to have an idea of the numbers of children we are planning for.

We will still only be in a position to have a limited number of children in school on any given day so will be organising on a part time basis.
