Briefing Note 2: 23rd March 2020

Parent Update: COVID-19

Dear Parents and Carers of our Multi Academy Schools

Following the Prime Minister's announcement this evening, we would like to confirm the following restrictions that have been put in place to keep us all safe -

LEAVE HOME ONLY FOR -

  *   Shopping for basic necessities
  *   One form of exercise a day
  *   Any medical need/care for vulnerable person
  *   Travelling to and from work, only if absolutely necessary and unable to work from home

At the present time, we will continue to open our schools to care for the children of the most critical keyworkers previously identified by the Government.  However, we have a duty of care to both the children and staff in our school communities and need to keep them safe.  Therefore, we ask you to think carefully about your need to send your child to school. 

Please only bring your child to school if it is essential to do so - if you can work from home, you must keep your child with you.  We understand that it can be difficult to work from home and take care of your children, but please understand that we need to ensure that we are all doing what is desperately needed to fight this terrible virus.

We are keeping you all in our prayers.  St. Nicholas Owen - Pray for us.

With very best wishes

Suzanne Horan

Catholic Senior Executive Leader
