Update on School Closure – 19/03/20 at 09:00

Dear Parents,

You will by now have heard about the decision of the government to close all schools, including independent schools, with effect from the end of Friday and until further notice.

I understand that many of you will have questions for us and I would like you to have the opportunity to ask those questions by email to Mrs Bamber (andreabamber@hollygirt.notts.sch.uk) so I can collate responses for my full mail later today.

There is much information still to be released to clarify the position for us and we will share this in our communications with you.

We intend to staff the school with skeleton staff, for those who are in the categories announced (NHS staff, police workers, social care staff and delivery drivers) if you have no other support at home. It is likely to be child care rather than teaching. Please let Mrs Bamber (andreabamber@hollygirt.notts.sch.uk) know if you may require this service. More details to follow.

For our pupils, the teaching and learning will continue via our Show My Homework platform and staff will be posting their lessons daily, in line with the curriculum for all pupils in Year 1 to Year 11. EYFS will communicate by email.

We will continue to update you throughout this challenging time.

Mrs Pam Hutley
Headmistress
