Update on Phased Reopening of School 2.6.20

Following discussions with the Wigan Director of Public Health and Senior Leaders yesterday, Wigan Council are now advising that Primary Schools do not open more widely until Monday 15th June, at the earliest. Please see letter from Professor Kate Ardern, Wigan Council Director of Public Health, in Parents section of website, which explains the reasons for this decision.

Considering this advice, Trust Directors and Senior Leaders have made the decision to commence our phased reopening of school from Monday 15th June at the earliest, where we will invite children from Reception and Year 1 to return. We will be welcoming back children from Nursery and Year 6 the following week as planned, from Monday 22nd June, at the earliest.

We understand that this may be a disappointment to you and your children and hope that this doesn’t cause any inconvenience. However, the safety and wellbeing of our children, parents, staff and community has always been at the heart of our planning process and we continue to follow local and national guidance and advice.

We will continue to offer emergency childcare to children whose parents are ‘key workers’ and identified children.
Thank you for the support that you are providing with home learning during this unprecedented time and we look forward to welcoming more children back to school in the coming weeks.
