Dear parents and carers,
I hope you are all staying safe and well during this winter, when the Covid pandemic continues.
As you know, we are open to all students with EHCPs, vulnerable students and the children of key workers. We are also ensuring that we give the best educational offer to other students who we deem to be vulnerable.
For those families who have requested that their child learns from home during Lockdown 3, we have a remote learning offer in place. Details of our remote learning offer can be found on this website.
Thank you to all those families who have consented to their child taking weekly lateral flow tests. This is one of a number of measures we are using to mitigate the risk of catching or spreading the Covid-19 virus in school. Staff and students receive weekly tests. Anyone who tests positive, using the lateral flow test, is asked to take a PCR test and stay at home if this test result is positive.
We have also secured access to the vaccine for all our staff at CCfL. This programme will take place during the early Spring term.
We request that all students and staff wear masks on site. We are delighted that students are cooperating well with this request.
Our daily teaching timetable is reduced to 10am-2pm during Lockdown 3. This is allow staff to take lateral flow tests before the start of the school day, and also to ensure that everyone travelling to school can avoid peak travel times.
We continue to offer a rich and varied educational offer on site, and to offer high-quality remote learning. We have ensured that all students have the IT devices they need to work from home.
If you have any additional needs, please do let us know. As ever, our multi agency team and tutors will be in touch each week to make sure you have all the support you need.
Finally, can I ask you to ensure that your child follows Tier 4 guidance when not in school. We all want life to return to ‘normal’ as soon as possible, and this can only happen if we support efforts to suppress transmission of the virus.
Thank you for your cooperation.
Angela Tempany
Director.
