Unfortunately Mr Langford tested positive for COVID-19 last week and remains quite poorly he is not well enough to return at the end of his initial 10 days isolation as he still has symptoms and is unwell.

Fortunately Mr Lowrie-Herz has been acting headteacher for the whole of this week and his teaching commitments have been covered by Mrs Parry, we have managed to secure Mrs Parry to teach in Year 3 Monday – Wednesday next week and as per the usual timetable Mrs Crane will teach the class on Thursday and Friday. Although this is regrettable we are happy that we have managed to arrange this consistency for our Year 3 children.

We know you will all join us in wishing Mr Langford a full and speedy recovery.

I’m sure you will have heard that we do have several positive cases in pupils, we are in daily communication with Public Health who are advising us at every stage. There will be further information to follow.
