Dear Parents/Carers,

 

I hope that you and your families continue to be safe and well, in the current Tier 3 situation. After a long and challenging Autumn Term I would firstly like to take this opportunity to thank you all for your understanding and support during this time, it means a lot to us.

 

Reports Day

The school will close to pupils on Thursday 17th December 2020. On Friday 18th December, we will be running our pupil reports day. This will give you the opportunity to discuss your child’s progress throughout the term. All parents/carers will be contacted with individual arrangements for your child.

 

Covid – 19 Holiday Christmas Holiday Guidance

The DFE have issued guidance on the 8th December to make all staff, parents and carers aware of the following information.

 

·       Where a pupil or staff member tests positive for coronavirus (COVID-19), having developed symptoms more than 48 hours since being in school, the school should not be contacted. Parents and carers should follow contact tracing instructions provided by NHS Test and Trace.

·       For the first 6 days after teaching ends, if a pupil or staff member tests positive for coronavirus (COVID-19), having developed symptoms within 48 hours of being in school, the school is asked to assist in identifying close contacts and advising self-isolation, as the individual may have been infectious whilst in school.

·       If your child attends Springwell Dene, please ring Dave Bromby on 07825053020
