Message to all parents and carers at Middle Park Primary School

From Monday 23rd March 2020, Middle Park School will be operating out of the Middle Park Community Centre. The clear message from Government is that in order to reduce the spread of the Covid-19 virus people should remain home and limit their movements and interactions as much as possible. Every child who can be safely cared for at home, should be.

For any parent or carer who has a safeguarding concern or is struggling, you can still contact our safeguarding team in the following ways:
• Email – support@middlepark.co.uk
• Telephone (business hours only) – 07956 274261
• In person at the Middle Park Community Centre

Children with an EHCP, vulnerable children and children of key workers are being offered full daycare (7am to 6pm) at the Middle Park Community Centre until Friday 17th April 2020. These families have been contacted directly. If you have a query regarding this please contact the school on support@middlepark.co.uk

Stay safe. Look after yourselves and look after one another. We are all still here for you and we will come through this together.

Dear Parents/Carers

As we are all aware, information is changing rapidly and being updated daily. We have been thinking ahead about ways in which we can support the children with their ongoing learning in the event of a school closure. As such, we are sending learning packs home with children so that they have what they need if we do close.

There is no pressure on children to complete the work as we do not want to add to anxieties at this difficult time. Each pack will have a letter from the class teacher with a list of suggested activities and websites that we hope will help to keep children occupied.

Any packs for children already absent can be collected from the school office. If you are self-isolating and would like a pack please ask a friend or neighbour to collect.

For those parents and children at home it is really important that we stay in touch. An email address has been set up for each class and teachers will respond when they are able. Please see attached. Teachers may be able to suggest further activities and answer any questions about learning. Please use the class email addresses for learning enquiries and the admin email admin@middlepark.co.uk for all other enquiries. The admin email is always monitored and messages can be passed on through this address.

Thank you for all your support, understanding and calmness during this time.

Yours faithfully

Terri Adams
Deputy Headteacher
