Dear Parents and Carers
Woodcroft staff and governors have been working very hard to make the school a safe environment to learn. We have also made preparations for a possible school closure. As you can imagine this has been a very difficult time with advice and guidance changing daily. Woodcroft staff should be congratulated for the comprehensive measures implemented so far.
However, as matters escalate, we recognise the need to move to the next phase. As I write, and I must point out, schools have not received any additional or detailed guidance from the Local Authority or Government. This could change at any point, and we await detailed information from the Government’s COBRA meetings.
In response to questions from parents I can summarise actions that have been taken so far:
- A detailed action plan has been formulated with an escalating series of measures. Woodcroft has moved to its Phase 2 response.
- Advanced plans are in place to create a virtual school should Woodcroft be forced to close
- Detailed guidance for parents is being drafted to support them maintain the continued education of their children.
You can read the full ‘draft’ guidance here: Woodcroft Phased Response and Parent Guide ISSUE 1
Updated guidance 16/3/20: Woodcroft Phased Response Issue 2
I would like to thank all of our parents for their sensible approach and continued support throughout this challenging time.
Yours sincerely
Richard Burrows (Chair of Governors)
