Welcome from the Headteacher

Dear Parents and Carers,

We are currently closed to the majority of pupils apart from providing childcare to a limited number of children whose parents are key workers and whose work is essential to the functioning of critical services.

We recognise that this is an extremely difficult and challenging time for our school community and indeed the world. As such, we will do all that we can to ensure that we help support you and your children during this period. A period that we hope will end soon.

All SATs tests, Phonics Screening Tests, Multiplication Checks and National Examinations have been cancelled and the results of teacher assessments will inform the next teacher or school of your child’s attainment. Our aim is to minimise the impact upon the children and we will do our best to ensure this is achieved.

We are aware that our Year 6 children have left school without the proper send-off that we normally would want them to have. Depending on the length of the school closure, we are very keen to provide our Year 6 pupils with an opportunity to celebrate their time at Willenhall together when it is safe and appropriate to do so. We will keep our Year 6 parents updated on our plans as the situation changes.

We have asked our teachers to provide the best possible online learning for your children and they are doing their best to deliver this from home. If you have any concerns, please contact the school in the usual way and someone will get back to you. I have also attached the school mobile telephone number to contact us should you have any emergencies.

Thank you for your continued support and we look forward to welcoming you back into our school as soon as is possible. In the meantime, please ensure you follow all government guidelines and Public Health England advice.

Thank you,

Lorraine Knowles
Headteacher
