Important Information regarding COVID-19

Dear Parents / Carers

Following the latest guidance on self isolation, if any member of the same household shows any symptoms including persistent cough and/or temperature the whole family must now self isolate for 14 days.

Any children who are currently self isolating for 7 days must now extend that to 14 days from the first day of symptoms. This applies to every member of the household even though they may not have any symptoms currently.

Further guidance will be issued by Pathfinder Multi Academy Trust tomorrow.

Thank you for your continued support,

The Governing body met on Tuesday 3rd March 2020. The minutes of the previous meeting held on Monday 2nd December 2019 were approved as a correct record of the meeting. The governing body then invited, approved and welcomed Mr John Sharpe as a governor. John has kindly agreed to act as our Chair of Governors during an important time of transition for the governing body.

Firstly, we heard from our Head of Business and Operations, Mrs Johnson, who delivered a finance update for the school.

Mrs Wright then updated the governors on the latest advice regarding Safeguarding within school. The governors would like to thank everything that the CwR staff and wider community do to keep students safe.

Finally, Mr Herbert gave us his Headteacher’s Report. He updated the governors on the important work that is being undertaken on the CwR curriculum.

We thank Mr Herbert and the CwR staff for all their hard work so far this academic year and wish everyone in the school community a successful and happy Spring. ... See MoreSee Less

Parent Consultations and Coronavirus/Covid-19 Update

The meetings with teachers this evening is going ahead as planned. The latest advice is not saying we should cancel or postpone and we continue to receive daily updates from Public Health England and the Local Authority.

All our schools in the Trust are fully open and operating as usual, but this is an ever changing picture and we will keep you fully informed about any future changes. I am waiting for an update today which I will send out to all parents and carers tomorrow.

If you are not wishing to attend your appointment today, please would you let us know so these appointments can be reallocated.

Thanks for your support with this.
