Keep up to date with all the latest news happening in school at the moment. Remember - our newsletters are uploaded to the website every week
As we believe the school grounds, surrounding roads and pathways will be dangerous for the school community, we have made the decision to close tomorrow for safety reasons.
We apologise for the late notice for parents with critical worker jobs. Home Learning will continue tomorrow.
Please share this post.
Thanks.
Final post for tonight...
We are so sad not to be able to welcome everyone back to school tomorrow, but we have to do what is needed to get through to the other side of all of this.
We will be working hard to make home learning work as well as we can for everyone for the next few weeks. Details to follow as soon as possible.
We will do all we can to continue to support our Woodrow families in any way we can.
Tomorrow will be hectic, so we thank you for your patience and understanding.
Our biggest hope is that we all make it through the pandemic safely and we will be together again soon.
Look out for updates.
Take care everyone xxx
Home Learning
We have plans for children to access lessons online, however as the government were insisting that schools would be open, this is what we have prepared for his week.
We will need tomorrow at least to be able to let you know how the home learning will work.
Thank you for your patience and support with this. We will be working hard tomorrow to share the relevant information with you.
Unfortunately, we will not be able to welcome new starters to Nursery as planned this week.
We are a school with a nursery class and NOT a private nursery. All schools must close. So as we understand it, our whole school will close.
We may be able to offer some Nursery provision for children of critical workers. If you think you fall in to this category, please contact us tomorrow morning.
Children eligible for Free School Meals.
We will provide a simple sandwich lunch for children who need to be in school tomorrow.
As things stand tonight, we cannot offer a lunch tomorrow for children who are at home.
We will be speaking to the caterers tonight and awaiting information on any possible food vouchers and will update you tomorrow.
If you are struggling for food tomorrow please contact us and we will do our best to try to arrange some emergency food.
Tuesday 5th January
Everyone must stay at home.
Only the children of critical workers and vulnerable children may come in to school - the details on who can do this are detailed here. https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/coronavirus-covid-19-maintaining-educational-provision/guidance-for-schools-colleges-and-local-authorities-on-maintaining-educational-provision
EVEN IF YOU QUALIFY AS A CRITICAL WORKER, WE ASK THAT YOU KEEP YOUR CHILD AT HOME (OR IN THEIR SUPPORT/CHILDCARE BUBBLE) TOMORROW IF POSSIBLE AND CONTACT US BY PHONE OR MESSENGER TOMORROW MORNING TO DISCUSS PROVISION FOR YOUR CHILD.
We will be talking to any parents on the school playground tomorrow to discuss if your child should be in school before letting them in to class.
If you are the parent or carer of a child classed as vulnerable or a child with an EHCP, please keep your child at home tomorrow and we will be phoning you after 9.15am to discuss their individual needs.
Thanks for your patience everyone. Obviously its very late to change all of our and your plans for tomorrow, but we are going to try to cover as much as we can in the next series of posts.
Please bear with us as we were ready for in class learning and so there is a lot to arrange! The most important thing is you all stay safe at home tomorrow.
Please do not message us tonight about individual queries as we will not be able to answer. We will be able to speak to you directly tomorrow though after 10am.
YOUR CHILDREN MUST STAY AT HOME TOMORROW (OR WITH YOUR SUPPORT BUBBLE OR CHILDCARE BUBBLE) UNLESS YOU ARE A CRITICAL WORKER AND HAVE NO OTHER MEANS OF CHILD CARE.
