TIER 3 RESTRICTIONS
As Liverpool is now under Tier 3 restrictions it is essential that we work together to ensure our children, families and staff are kept as safe as possible and that the school remains open.
It is very important to follow this guidance:
- Wear a face mask when you drop off or collect your child from school - unless you have a medical reason not to.
- Only 1 parent/carer to drop off and collect children
- Come to school ONLY at your allocated time
- Older siblings sent home from secondary school due to bubbles being sent home - should not collect/drop off.
- Please do NOT park on Fonthill Road outside school or on the yellow zigzags. This is dangerous.
- The children are working hard at school and enjoying their learning. They are catching up with any learning which has been missed and enjoying school life.

Guidance on staying at home for people with confirmed or possible coronavirus [covid-19] infection

ATTENDANCE
In March, when the Coronavirus [COVID-19] outbreak was increasing, we made clear that no parent would be penalised or sanctioned for their child's non-attendance at school.
Now the circumstances have changed and it is vital for all children to return to school to minimise as far as possible the longer term impact of the pandemic on children's education, well-being and wider development.
Missing out on more time in the classroom risks pupils falling further behind. Those with higher overall absence tend to achieve less well in both primary and secondary school. School attendance will therefore be mandatory again from the beginning of the autumn term.
This means from that point, the usual rules on school attendance will apply, including:
- parents' duty to secure that their child attends regularly at the school where the child is a registered pupil and they are of compulsory school age;
- schools' responsibilities to record attendance and follow up absence;
- the availability to issue sanctions, including fixed penalty notices in line with local authorities' codes of conduct
We understand that you and your children may have concerns and may be reluctant or anxious about returning.
As we reopen, our first priority will be to support our children with this and our teaching and learning will initially be to listen to, discuss and overcome these concerns.
The more our children understand how they can keep themselves and others safe, the better it will be for everyone in our school community.
Being back at school will help our children understand how to keep safe in school and in wider public places.
