An Inspiring Visit from BFC Women!

Our KS2 children had an incredible time meeting Jade and Heidi, players from BFC Women!
The visit began with an inspiring assembly, where the children had the opportunity to hear from two professional footballers and learn more about their experiences. Our KS2 girls then enjoyed a fantastic practical session, showcasing their football skills, trying new things and having the chance to learn, play and chat alongside two of the club’s inspiring players.
Their excitement, energy and enthusiasm throughout the session was fantastic to see, with the girls embracing every opportunity and thoroughly enjoying the experience.
Opportunities like this are about so much more than football. They give our children the chance to meet real-life role models, build confidence, create lasting memories and see where their own passion and love of the game could take them.
We are incredibly grateful to Jade and Heidi for inspiring our children and sharing their time, knowledge and passion for the game with us.

Following Boris Johnson’s 8pm announcement we now know that as of midnight tonight the country has entered a new period of Lockdown, a Lockdown that includes the closure of school. 

School will be open for the children of Key Workers and for pupils who are deemed vulnerable. All pupils will be provided with work in order for them to keep learning. 

Tonight’s announcement was very short notice for you as parents and also for us as a Staff. Tomorrow, by 11am there will be three tasks on the school website for each Class to complete as their Tuesday learning. However, School will be closed to ALL pupils tomorrow. 

 

Staff, however, will be in school preparing for the rest of the Lockdown. Through tomorrow we will prepare school to make it safe for Key worker pupils and vulnerable children to return. 

We will send out a form for you to apply for a place in the Keyworker Bubbles and we will let you know more about how children will be learning remotely. We will do our very best to re-open to Key Worker children and vulnerable pupils by Wednesday. 

I am aware of how difficult this is for you all, School closing creates a multitude of problems for everyone but data surrounding this awful disease dictates that this is a necessary step. As ever, the safety and health of everyone must be a priority. 

Thank you for your continued support and we will be in frequent contact over the next few days. 

Many thanks
