Home News and Events Latest News Letter to parents about post-COVID school reopening
Dear parents and carers
We are writing to keep you appraised of our plans to begin the phased re-opening of William Ford Junior School to some pupils.
The government has asked us to plan a reopening of the school from any date on or after Monday 1 June 2020. It is our responsibility to plan a phased reopening based on our judgement of what is safest for our school’s children, families and staff. This letter explains to you our plan, although it is provisional and could be changed or postponed at any moment based on our interpretation of the ever-changing advice and evidence.
As things stand, we hope to open our doors to Year 6 pupils only from Monday 8 June. This is in addition to the children of key workers and a small number of other families from any year group who are already in attendance. We have chosen this date rather than the government’s preferred date of 1 June so that we can be more confident that the government’s five tests for the lifting of lockdown have been sufficiently well met. The government is due to release essential up to date information on 28 May. Opening our school on 1 June would not give us time to analyse this information well enough in order to make our school premises as safe as possible. When this information is published on 28 May, we may decide that we cannot reopen the school after all, and cancel any plans to do so.
You may well wonder why it is up to us, as two primary school teachers, to analyse this information and make such a momentous decision. In other countries, government experts have made these decisions and given schools clear nationwide instructions. In England, the ultimate responsibility falls to us, and you may be assured that we will take it very seriously. Our prime minister has said that he wishes to ‘support’ us to reopen as soon as possible, but he has also asked us to teach children in groups of no more than fifteen pupils. We have neither the classrooms nor the staff to do this. Our main concern must always, therefore, be the minimisation of risk to children, families and staff rather than prioritising the aspirations of the government, however well-meaning those aspirations may be.
For us, the most pressing of the government’s tests is the availability of sufficient personal protective equipment (PPE) for our staff to be confident that we will not run out before the end of the summer term. We have already secured most of what we need, but still have some gaps to fill.
If our provisional plan to open for Year 6 pupils on Monday 8 June goes ahead and is successful, we may be able to welcome some pupils from other year groups into school before the end of the summer term. This plan is, however, tentative and provisional and could be modified or postponed at any time. We will keep you informed about this.
