St. Cuthbert's Catholic Primary School

Dear Parents/Carers

First of all, our love, prayers and best wishes go out to all members of our school community during these unprecedented times. We hope you are managing to stay safe and healthy.  

Following government advice during the current COVID-19 pandemic, as of Monday 23^rd March, St Cuthbert’s Primary and Early Years Centre, along with all other schools in the UK, is closed for an indefinite period. 

For those children whose parents/carers who are critical workers, or who come under other identified criteria, the school remains open to provide childcare.

Therefore, the large majority of our pupils, should not attend school.  As a country, we all need to do what we can to reduce the spread of the COVID-19 virus. That is why the government have given clear guidance on self-isolation, household isolation and social distancing.

As you know, work packs for all children have been produced, which as well as daily worksheets, include guidance for accessing numerous online learning activities. We would ask you to encourage your child to get on with as much of this as possible whilst at home. However, we also recognise what a potentially stressful and worrying time this can be. We certainly wouldn’t want any families to feel any undue pressure as a result of the work set. The children know we just want them to do their best, and to try to have a real growth mind-set. If you need any advice or support please do not hesitate to contact school.  

As in recent days, the same health advice regarding the virus applies during this period.  Please follow the link for current advice: https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/coronavirus-covid-19/

Thank you all for your continued support, consideration and kind messages.  Remember we are here - get in touch if you need us.

God Bless

Mr Rushton and all the staff
