Dear Parents

 

As you will be aware the Government have decided to keep schools open for the time being. 

The issue schools now have is a staffing crisis in the face of self-isolation guidance from Public Health England. 

The corona virus may well lead to a situation in schools where the percentage of the staff infected and self-isolating mean that it is unsafe to open.

We will do all we can to remain open but families must be prepared for a school closure due to staff shortages.

Of course if the Government make the decision, in line with other European nations, to close school and universities, Holtspur will have no choice but to close for the period stipulated.  The teachers are busy putting together work to be available via the school website in case of closure.

I thank you all for your understanding in this uncertain time.

As ever please feel free to talk to me if you have any concerns.

 

Yours sincerely

Nigel Hoff

Interim Headteacher
