Letter to parents closure 20th March 2020
Friday 20th March 2020
Dear Parent / Carer,
There has been significant discussion over the last 24 hours over the way schools will open from Monday onwards.
Could I firstly emphasise that the purpose of closing schools is to restrict and minimise social contact and therefore reduce the risk of being infected by the coronavirus.
Therefore, if it is at all possible, please keep your children at home. Parents should not rely for childcare upon those who are advised to be in the stringent social distancing category such as grandparents, friends, or family members with underlying conditions.
We will ensure that schools will provide caring facilities for parents who are at the forefront of the national effort to fight the coronavirus disease. We want to ensure that these vital workers are given every opportunity to be in work and to get on with their efforts to protect our lives and wellbeing.
In accordance with the above, we will limit attendance at our schools next week to those who are employed within:
Local and national government
Food and other necessary goods
Public safety and national security
Transport
However, let’s be very clear, we want to prioritise attendance at school to only those who absolutely need to be there and are eligible to be there according to this criteria. If you fall outside this criteria, schools will not be expected to receive your children. Please be considerate and understanding in these very challenging times.
Our schools will also be open to our most vulnerable learners who will be identified in discussion with headteachers and Social Services and your school will contact you personally on this.
We are confident that if this advice is followed, we will all make a significant contribution towards protecting our pupils and our staff.
We will review these arrangements very carefully with our schools on a daily basis and will keep you appraised of any changes through the usual communication and media channels.
Yours sincerely,
Aled Evans
Director of Education
