Advice for critical workers during the Easter Break

Dear parents and carers

Due to the current Covid 19 pandemic, school is currently only open for identified groups of children as identified by the Department for Education in this document, https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/closure-of-educational-settings-information-for-parents-and-carers

If you think your child is eligible to attend school, please contact school by email at: info@balliolprimary.co.uk We can discuss eligibility and organise access for provision. If you are already using the emergency childcare provision and need to access provision on different days to those already arranged please email or telephone the number sent via the school gateway app.

In the holidays, schools would usually be closed. In line with DfE guidance, we will be offering provision as it is needed by identified parents/carers, meaning we will be physically open on some days and closed on others based on the needs of those parents/ carers. However, if your circumstances change and you need care for your child/ren, for example if you are called into work, please contact the telephone number sent to you via the gateway app and we will arrange provision for your child/ren, irrespective of whether or not we have planned to be open on that day or not as we appreciate that everyone’s circumstances are ever changing
