Dear Parents/Carers

Unfortunately, the school is closed to most children.

Government advice remains that: ‘every child who can be cared for at home should be.’

We are offering a provision for children of key workers and vulnerable children in line with government advice. If you think that you are a key worker and have not already spoken to us you MUST speak to us before sending your child in so that we can ensure there are enough adults present in school.

Families who have ordered a free school meal should collect these from the car park at 12:00. Please ensure that you stay two metres away from others as you wait to collect. If you do not collect an ordered meal we will not be able to provide further food for the rest of the week. We have been instructed to reduce food waste and only provide meals that will be collected.

The menu for Monday 30^th  March- Wednesday 1^st April will be posted on Dojo shortly. Please place your order with Mrs Knight by email hknight@bishops.dneat.org

Meals for those under isolation will currently be delivered by staff volunteers. We will look to support this as long as possible whilst following government guidelines.

We would like to share this prayer with your family.

We are not people of fear:

we are people of courage.

We are not people who protect our own safety:

we are people who protect our neighbours’ safety.

We are not people of greed:

we are people of generosity.

We are your people God,

giving and loving,

wherever we are,

whatever it costs

For as long as it takes

wherever you call us.

 

Amen.
