You will be aware that from Monday 23 March schools will only be partially open to provide a service to care for the most vulnerable children and the children of key workers. Whilst our records can identify the children who are most vulnerable, we are yet to identify those whose parents are key workers. We are still waiting for the government guidance as to who fits this criterion as this guidance will determine which children we can make this provision for.

Once this guidance is published, we shall immediately ask all parents and carers who believe they are key workers to complete a form which will be available on the website or by hard copy. I appreciate this is a difficult time and we will endeavour to keep you as informed as we possibly can.
