RETURN TO SCHOOL - JANUARY 2021

Dear Parents,

After the Prime Minister’s announcement on 4th January 2021 regarding the closure of schools due to the increase in transmission rates of Covid-19, I am very pleased to say that the Dair House School governors and staff have acted promptly to ensure all of our pupils receive the finest support in the following ways.

Firstly, the Dair House School Nursery is open as usual. Our wonderful staff and children have commenced their Spring term activities happily and enthusiastically, with hardly any interruption.

Secondly, our fantastic staff have guaranteed that we are providing comprehensive, excellent teaching and support to our Key Worker and Vulnerable children. Two small, supportive bubbles lead by four members of staff enable the children to make real progress and, very importantly, enjoy the company of others in small, safe groups.

Finally, we have initiated a full, thorough, online remote learning timetable for all of our children from Reception to Year 6. Our teachers work online with their pupils to positively lead their learning and ensure the children will still make progress during this lockdown period.

We are maintaining that very important whole school spirit through online assemblies and PE lessons. Very excitingly, the school will also be leading the development of small group reading online to ensure each child moves forward with this most important of skills.

I very much hope that we will all return to school after the half term holiday, but I know that everyone here at Dair House School is fully committed to making this lockdown period as positive experience as possible. If you have any queries, please do contact me.

With best wishes,

TC Wintle

Headmaster
