IT has been a quiet half-term break. Only one family reported positive Covid cases and that was at the end of the week, so there was no need to inform parents and staff of a need to isolate.
My thoughts turn to the Prime Minister’s announcement due on the 22nd.
I email staff and governors, part of which read: “You will be aware that leaks indicate primaries will open in full on March 8 and unions have issued a joint statement urging a more cautious approach.
“You may also have read reports that infection rates among younger children is rising - unexpected and alarming news. However, last Thursday I was briefed on Essex data that differs from this national picture that I am sure you will find more reassuring.
