Closure of Coral Reef & Islands for remainder of this term

We currently have 19 members of staff self-isolating. While we always try to keep children in school I am sure you can understand that we can not safely open Coral Reef and Islands (Madagascar & Galapagos) from tomorrow, Tuesday 15th December.  The learning for these classes will move online until the end of this week via our Learn platform.  

This decision is not linked to a positive test for someone in your child’s bubble so they do not have to isolate. We will contact you via phone and email if this changes. I am on call until Christmas Eve and have been asked to notify families if they need to isolate up until this date as a result of a positive test for someone in our school community. 

In addition, lessons will be delivered via zoom every day at 9 and teachers will be checking in with children during the week.  Please check that you have passwords for Learn and email us to let us know if you need a reminder:

coralreef@stfrideswides.co.uk

oceans@stfrideswides.co.uk

The zoom links will be sent via jotter and the password will be on Learn.

Thank you for your continued support and understanding in these unprecedented times.
