From Monday 23rd March, our school will be open to provide care for vulnerable children and the children of key workers as per the latest government directive. Details of which children and key workers qualify under this directive is vast but generally key workers will fall into the following critical categories:
NHS, health & social care
Education & childcare
Key public services
Local & national government
Food and other necessary goods
Public safety & national security
Transport
Utilities, communication & financial services

The government guidance does also state that any child that can be cared for safely at home should be. So if at all possible, please make provision for your children if you can.
