Dear parents/ carers,

As we come to the end of the half term, just a short newsletter this week.

I would like to take the opportunity to thank you all for your continued support during this challenging time.

Parents and children, you have been truly amazing and demonstrated such resilience; you should all be very proud of the enormous efforts made during the last half term, I know it hasn’t been easy, and my hat goes off to you for the unwavering efforts made; you are all superheroes!

Huge thanks too, to my wonderful teachers who have really excelled themselves in providing varied online tasks; the support assistants, office, kitchen and mid-day staff in school, who have catered for our Key Worker/ vulnerable provision so brilliantly.  I feel so fortunate to have such a super team at Henham.

I really hope you can all have a restful half term break next week and enjoy the opportunity to move away from computer screens and home learning schedules!   Here’s to some good weather to encourage us to get outside as much as possible.

We are hoping for a government announcement week beginning the 22nd February that will detail when schools will reopen.  Let’s keep our fingers and toes crossed for some good news!

  • if you have been accessing the Key Worker provision this week and your child becomes poorly or tests positive for Covid-19, you will need to inform me up until Monday lunchtime as part of the track and trace requirements.
  • One last thing before you start your well deserved half term break, the travel plan survey!

A fantastic 60 families have now completed it, a huge increase since last week, thank you.  The survey will remain open for a few more days and it would be wonderful if all families views were taken into consideration.  The link is below:

Have a fabulous week everyone, with best wishes,
