Dear parents and carers,
We’re still awaiting guidance from the Department of Education after last night's announcement from the Prime Minister, Boris Johnson. We have been told we will receive this information tomorrow. While we wait for instruction, I want to highlight these 3 key points with you:
The safety of our staff, children, and families is absolutely paramount. We will not do anything that will put the health of our communities at risk.
I wish you continued good health. Stay safe, and please check back on Friday for further information.
Yours sincerely,
Dr Nicholas Capstick OBE
CEO The White Horse Federation
