The full list of "key workers" has now been released.

All children with a parent / carer on the list (unless they have another parent / carer who is at home) will still be able to come to school from Monday 23rd March. If this applies to you PLEASE NOTIFY THE SCHOOL TODAY IF YOU INTEND TO TAKE UP THIS PLACE (even if you child is currently self-isolating but will be back in a couple of weeks).  More information on this will be published later in the day. 

As instructed by the government, if your job is not on the list, or you have another adult in the household (either off work or not working) - you must make alternative arrangements for childcare from next week.

These measures are in place to slow the spread of the virus.
