IMPORTANT KEY WORKER FORM (CLICK HERE) Dear Parents/Guardians The Government has now published an extended list of front-line Key Workers where we can provide childcare provision. Please find the link to the Government guidelines below. Parents whose work is critical to the COVID-19 response include those who work in health and social care and in other key sectors outlined below. Many parents working in these sectors may be able to ensure their child is kept at home. And every child who can be safely cared for at home should be. As stated in the guidance, ‘If it is at all possible for children to be at home, then they should be,’ and if workers think they fall within the critical categories below they should confirm with their employer that, based on their business continuity arrangements, their specific role is necessary for the continuation of this essential public service.’ If your child is eligible and you intend to send them to school then please also complete this form. The deadline for completing this form is 4pm, today if at all possible. If this is challenging then as soon after that would help us enormously. Complete one form for each child. If you do not meet the criteria but feel that your child falls into the category of ‘vulnerable’ and therefore should attend school from Monday, please complete the form and your request will be considered in confidence. Details for Monday onwards Times: School will be open from 8.50am until 3.20pm What will the pupils be doing? All of our staff who are fit and able will be in school to ensure that there is a provision in place for pupils. Staff may have a mixture of age groups together and they will support children in completing the same tasks that are being sent home weekly. Uniform: Please come to school in your usual full school uniform Catering. School meals will be provided as normal, with normal payment mechanisms in place. Wrap around care: If your child usually attends Happy Days and you fit the following criteria and require breakfast and/or after school club during this time, please contact them directly on happydaysbaasc@hotmail.com Eligibility criteria The guidance below is taken from the following Government guidance on ‘key worker’ criteria: Guidance for schools, colleges and local authorities on maintaining educational provision Please follow these key principles: 1. If it is at all possible for children to be at home, then they should be. 2. If a child needs specialist support, is vulnerable or has a parent who is a critical worker, then educational provision will be available for them. 3. Parents should not rely for childcare upon those who are advised to be in the stringent social distancing category such as grandparents, friends, or family members with underlying conditions. 4. Parents should also do everything they can to ensure children are not mixing socially in a way which can continue to spread the virus. They should observe the same social distancing principles as adults. Definition of key workers If your work is critical to the COVID-19 response, or you work in one of the critical sectors listed below, and you cannot keep your child safe at home then your children will be prioritised for school provision.
