Dear Parents and carers,
As you know, during the last two weeks we have had to close year groups in both schools due to positive Covid cases. Whilst this is a concern, I just want to remind you of several important facts:
Firstly and most importantly all the staff members and children who have tested positive for Covid 19 are recovering well.
Secondly, and crucially, none of our positive cases are linked, which means that we have been able to keep most of both schools open.
Thirdly, Marish Academy Trust has been open every week day since 23rd March except for two weeks at the end of August, not just to educate children, but to nurture our community.
Finally and most importantly, we are committed to doing whatever it takes to keep educating our children whether at home or at school and getting through this crisis by working together with all of you.
The staff team here are amazing- a real dream team. They go the extra mile every day to enable us to keep our schools, breakfast clubs and after school clubs open. I appreciate this is a stressful time for everyone, but we have been touched by the numbers of parents who have been so understanding when we have had to send your children home and so appreciative of our efforts. Such thanks makes all our hard work worthwhile.
Thanks so much for supporting us to support you. If you need any help at all please contact the school offices in the usual way. Together, we will get through this.
Stay safe. Mrs Denham, Miss Court and the staff team at Marish Academy Trust
