Dear Parents and Carers, 

This evening you, like us, heard for the first time from the Prime Minister about their possible next steps to move the country forward from ‘Lockdown’. 

The Prime Minister shared a ‘conditional plan’ that children in Reception, Year 1 and Year 6 may be the first to return to school in some way, from early June. 

 As yet, we have no more information than you do about this plan. We expect to receive some guidance from the Department for Education at some point in the next day or so, and at that point we will begin to make plans in accordance with that guidance. 

In the meantime, our status is as it has been since the 23rd March – our schools are only open for ‘those children of Critical Workers who need to be cared for while their parents are at work and for those children deemed ‘vulnerable’. 

Please be assured that as soon as we have had the relevant guidance and new plans in place, we will make contact to share the relevant information with you. 

On behalf of all the staff and Governors at Tweeddale Primary School, I would like to end by extending our thoughts and best wishes to everyone in, and connected to, our school and community during this challenging time. 

Yours faithfully, 

Terrie Jerrom

Headteacher
