Year Group Closure

Thu 24 Sep 2020

Unfortunately we are having to close our year 2 and reception bubbles for two weeks due to confirmed cases of COVID-19. Once again these are isolated incidents that are not linked to any previous cases. I must stress to all families that this is not through transmission across the school. Please ensure you log on to the class pages of the school website to find the latest work and log on to your Teams link for live learning. Your child also has Purple Mash, Eduaction City, Reading Plus or Reading Eggs logins that they can use where teachers have set work for children.

We are sorry for the inconvenience this brings and I am sure you will join us in wishing all of the families involved a very speedy recovery.

Year Group Closure year 1,4,6

Tue 22 Sep 2020

Dear Parents,

Regretfully we need to close out year 1, 4 and 6 bubbles due to confirmed cases of COVID-19. Unfortunately this is due to a family with siblings in different year groups, we must stress it is NOT linked to the staff member in Year 5. We will keep the school website updated as soon as we have more information. Children in these year groups must self isolate but siblings in Nursery, Reception, Year 2 and Year 3 may come to school. If your child feels at all unwell then please contact your GP or 111 and inform school.

For all information about COVID-19 please follow the link: https://www.capeprimary.com/covid-19-coronavirus/

Work will be set online by teachers by 9.30am this morning for Purple Mash and Education City. There will also be additional activities for the day on the individual class pages by 10.00am.
