  - children who maybe considered as vulnerable learners and you require emergency childcare https://forms.rctcbc.gov.uk/en/Web/coronaviruschildcare/startnew Further Information

  • We have been sent a list of children who have been accepted via the application process. Only those who have been accepted can come to school next week.

  • We will be open to pupils accepted via application tomorrow (Monday 23rd March) as there is no INSET day.

  • This childcare will be in our school with our staff for week 1 but may be in another selected school for week 2 before the Easter break. (More details on this will be given next week).

  • The children are to arrive at school at 9am.
