Message from Mrs Ainley

Wow, I can hardly believe another week has passed! So much has happened, including Mrs Leetham becoming a celebrity. How amazing is that? 
This week has passed particularly quickly because we have all been working very hard to make plans to reopen the school. We think we are getting there and (as long as things don’t change again) should have some more information for you today. 
In these difficult times we are relying an awful lot on trust. When talking to the children, we say that trust is earned by showing how we can be relied upon through our actions. However, through this pandemic we are being asked all of the time to put trust in people we don’t really know. This can make us uncertain and worried. 
We ask you to trust us to do the right thing for your children from the moment they join us in Reception and this is a hard thing for parents to do, especially for new families. Over time, we hope that we build trusting relationships through our actions. We are asking an awful lot of you to trust us to make the right decision for the school as a whole right now. 
We know that you all will have very different views about the reopening of schools and we trust our families to make the right decisions whatever they may be, especially for the year groups that we are opening for. If you are at all unsure, we are happy to support you in making a decision and remind you that nothing is set in stone. We will continue to support you through the coming weeks. 
We need to take baby steps back to normality, whilst all the time checking that it is still safe to continue on that journey. 
Please take care of each other.
Kindest Regards

Mrs Ainley
