Dear Parents and Carers,

8th March Opening

Following from the latest announcements from government we are very pleased to be opening the school for all year groups on 8th March 2021. This has been such a difficult time for all and we would like to thank all the families who have been so supportive of the school and for all the positive feedback you have given to the staff who have worked very hard to keep some form of education going. This letter outlines the main changes we will make to work within the guidance from government.

All the guidance that we have received from national government and the local authority has stressed that individual schools should use national guidance to conduct thorough risk assessments of their capacity and physical spaces before opening. Individual schools need to create plans, organise classes and spaces, ensure they have resources and timetable activities, lunchtimes and breaks to ensure that the children return to school in as safe a way as possible for our families and staff.

I mention all this because you need to hold in mind that any plan that London Fields has to open needs to be received cautiously. It is our intention to open, as outlined below, however this plan will be subject to review depending on the national and local situation. I am sending it out now so that you have an idea of our plans – but please be mindful that these plans may be subject to change through circumstances outside of our control.

I would also like to take this opportunity to share with you my gratitude and thanks to all the staff who have been working so hard to keep the home learning package that we offer creative, engaging and balanced and for all their work and care in keeping in touch with the children. I am sure you will join with me in thanking them and thinking they are fantastic! We are so lucky to have them and applaud their commitment and professionalism.

Best wishes,

Caroline Tyson
