CLOSURE PROVISION FOR CHILDREN OF KEY WORKERS/VULNERABLE GROUPS
Government has asked parents to keep their children at home wherever possible and asked schools to remain open only for those children who absolutely need to attend. Children should only attend if necessary because parents are critical to the fight against COVID-19 and they are working. They should not attend when parents are not working.

School Closure information.
During this difficult time, we are making efforts to provide families with lots of ideas for activities that can be completed at home. We are encouraging children and families, as you feel appropriate, to keep in contact directly with class teachers via email for feedback on or questions about these activities. Teacher email addresses are on the class web pages.
Any wider school issues should be communicated via closure@stas.bradford.sch.uk.
We will also use the school text messaging service and our Twitter feed to communicate.
Teachers in Class 3, 4 and 5 may feel it is appropriate to offer short Video Messaging sessions with their class. This is in no way compulsory for either families or teachers to use.
As a school we realise that at this time, it is difficult to commit to certain activities at certain times due to family commitments, illness etc. If Video Messaging is planned, parents will be contacted via text message with further information. This service is not meant to replace school classroom learning.
