  Our wonderful teachers at school who are taking risks everyday to come into school to ensure that critical frontline staff can do their jobs to keep our country running have just blown my mind -look what they have done for our amazing NHS workers.#NHSuk #teamhighoakham #NHSheroes

  

• School closure update

  Thu 19 Mar 2020

  The Government has now instructed all schools to close and therefore, we will close at 3.15pm tomorrow, Friday 20^th March, until further notice. We are sorry that this is the case and we are still awaiting guidance relating to groups who are going to be in school next week and what offer we are extending for our children who are eligible for Free School Meals.
  
  In relation to the majority of children who will not be attending school from Friday - home learning information will be sent out tomorrow. There will be packs that the children are bringing home and if you are not at school currently, arrangements will be made for collection of these. Any concerns regarding collection please get in touch as alternative arrangements can be made.
  
  I know it is difficult to plan, as it is for us, so please bear with us as we make plans.
  
  On another note - we are having what we are calling a #HOPStogether day tomorrow - we are asking families to bring in a tin of food or a long life food item that we can donate to the Bridge Street Methodist Church Soup Kitchen and the Mansfield Foodbank.
  Donations can be left on the tables outside the classroom door in both playgrounds this afternoon on collection or tomorrow on drop off or collection.
  
  Rev John Yarrien and I are coordinating support where needed so if you have a concern or know of anyone who needs help, get in touch using the following details.
