Knutton St Mary’s C of E Academy Together we succeed and shine … ‘We shine like bright stars in the sky’ Philippians 2:15 Dear Parents/Carers, Re: Coronavirus update – school closure to most pupils I am now writing to let you know that we have now been instructed to close the school to almost all children after this Friday until further notice.As advised by the government, we will do all we can to stay open for the children of key workers (e.g. NHS staff, police, others in frontline services) and children with certain needs. All other children will need to stay at home, so we ask that you do not send your child into school from Monday onwards. Please note that this is a national closure – as you may have heard in the news – so while it is a challenging situation, we are not alone. We’ll re-open fully as soon as we can and will let you know when this is by text message. What we’ll continue doing while your child is at home. Your child’s learning is of course important to us, so we’ll continue to help your child to learn. We have / will be posting packs of learning for any absent children and children in school will be taking work home tonight. In addition, there are website links to activities. Please regularly look at the website for updates under the tab Home Learning for school closure. In addition we will text out any updates. information regarding work for the children during the closure. Free School meals A text message will be going out to parents if your child usually receives free school meals – please respond via text only. This is as much as we know right now and we appreciate your continued patience as we deal with this ever- changing situation. We understand that this latest news will have an impact on you and your family and it’s far from ideal, but we’ll continue to keep in touch with any updates as the situation develops. Thank you again for your continued support.
