Good evening and sorry for the delay. Due to the very late announcement from the government, with the backing of our governors we will be closed to all pupils tomorrow.
It makes us incredibly sad to do this, as we were looking forward to seeing you all, but we have been left with no other way of being able to work with families to identify key worker and vulnerable child places correctly, restructure our staffing to deliver learning in school to those children from Wednesday and online for all other children, and to make sure we can continue to keep everyone safe.
Before 10pm information will be posted on our website about what you need to do if you think you are a key worker. Please read and respond. Once you have emailed school office@fordleyprimary.org.uk a member of the senior leadership team will ring you tomorrow.
All staff will work tomorrow to get this in place and remote learning will be set up from tomorrow afternoon.
If you have device issues we will be in touch.
I hope you understand that this is the only way we can manage a very ridiculous situation safely and fairly for all.
Thank you, as always, for your amazing support during very challenging times.
Please note we are aware there is a briefing tonight and we are currently working on plans for key workers and home learning, which we will be able to share within the next 24 hours if needed.

Communication with Parents and Carers
You know how much we value our Fordley Family and the relationships we have with you all as part of our school community. At this present time the government is still telling us that parents and carers cannot be allowed into the school building. Until we are told otherwise, we have to follow this guidance.
If you do need to speak to your child’s class teacher, or need a message passed to them, please email school at office@fordleyprimary.org.uk or ring the school office on our number 0191 2502207
The message will be emailed to the class teacher and they will contact you that day if you need to speak to them directly.
Myself, Mr Maule (Deputy Head) and Mrs Pringle (KS1 Leader) are all available outside at the start and end of the school day if you need to speak to any of us.
What if the school has to close due to another lockdown?
We will be sharing, within the next 24 hours, criteria for Key Worker places and how we will ensure your child can access learning at home. There is currently no new government guidance in place for local areas where schools have been told to remain open but local schools are liaising to ensure there is a fair and clear offer for families.
