  COVID-19 contingency Plan for pupils at LZW

   

  Dear parents/ carers,

   

  We are creating a contingency plan for the coming weeks in the light of yesterday’s announcements about school closures and provision for pupils with EHCPs. As you can imagine this is a complex situation.

   

  At the moment I am awaiting clarification on the “key workers” categories from the DfE and the Local Authority’s advice on provision for pupils with EHCPs, which covers our whole school population. Currently I am working to ensure that we have enough staff to operate a safe school for pupils.

   

  However, government guidance stipulates that due to the highly contagiousness of COVID-19, people with underlying medical vulnerabilities should minimise social contact. Therefore pupils with these needs will not be in school for the foreseeable future. School will maintain contact through alternative means of which we will share in our contingency plans.

  I ask that once the “key worker” list is published that you contact school as soon as possible to let us know if you are in this category.

   

  I will email on Friday 20^th March with our proposed contingency plan.

  If you wish to discuss your child’s situation, please contact the school.

   

  Yours sincerely,

  Hilary Davies

• COVID-19 Class Closures - Letter Sent to Parents 17th March 2020

  COVID-19 Class Closures

   

   

  Dear parents/carers

   

  I have spoken with the Department for Education and Luton Education Services today in light of the government announcements in relation to COVID-19 and vulnerable people with underlying medical conditions. I have made the decision to close your child’s class as there are many pupils who are likely to be more affected by the virus. I am very sorry to have to do this, but feel it is the better option given the seriousness of the high infection rates that are now passing through our communities.

   

  Your child’s last day will be Wednesday 18^th March. Currently our re-opening is after the Easter holidays, 21^st April, however, this is subject to confirmation and government guidance.

   

  If you require equipment such as walkers, standing frames etc. please do contact the school. Your class teacher will be in contact with ideas for learning support over the coming weeks.

   

  Yours sincerely

  Hilary Davies

  Headteacher

   

  Classes affected: Willow, Poppy, Rose, Daffodil, Bluebell, Lavender, Buttercup, Clover & Snowdrop.
