• Planned re-opening of school on 8th March

  Mon 22 Feb 2021 Mr. Simpson

  Dear Parents,

   

  Following the Prime Minister's announcements today, we are excited and looking forward to the full re-opening of school to ALL pupils on Monday 8th March.

   

  Breakfast Club and Twilight Club will also be available to all pupils.

   

  We will now work hard to ensure that plans and risk assessment measures are again updated and implemented to ensure the safety of children, parents and school staff.  Pupils and parents at home will continue to be supported with remote learning, enabling children to feel confident when returning to school after a long period of time away.

   

  Further information to follow via email and school website.

  Currently at the moment this project is open for the wider community and not just Torus tenants. However funding is limited and applications will need to be completed ASAP, during these winter months and more time spent in the house am sure you will have lots of potential applicants.

• Letter to Liverpool Parents from Liverpool City Council 12/2/21

  Fri 12 Feb 2021 Mr. Simpson

  Dear parents and carers,

   

  Please click the link below to read an important letter from Matt Ashton (Director of Public Health) and Steve Reddy (Director of Children's Services).

   

  While the rate of infection in Liverpool is decreasing, as it is nationally, the re-opening of schools for all depends on this rate continuing to fall.  We very much hope this will be the case and that we will be able to re-open school again soon after half term.  The measures in the letter set out how we can give our city the best chance of reopening soon, including information about testing with symptoms other than the original list.
