Thank you all so much for your continued support and co-operation this term. It has been really challenging to ensure all of our arrangements for keeping children in school have worked effectively. So far so good. No cases in school and no year groups have had to close; we aim for this to continue next half-term too.

Our first Open Evening will be held on Wednesday, 21 October 2020 from 4pm to 7pm. Unfortunately, we can only offer 1 person per child to come in due to the current situation with Covid-19, which means five adults in total for each open session.

Please choose one of the slots below:

4pm - 4.40pm

4.45 to 5.20pm

5.25 – 6.05pm

6.10pm - 6.45pm

Prompt attendance is paramount. You will need to arrive on time for each session and will need to wait outside the main entrance until you are escorted into the building at your allocated time. You will also be asked to wear a mask.

If one of the slots above is suitable for you, please email info@kender.lewishm.school.uk or use the email provided on our newsletter; you should include your child's full name and date of birth so we can secure your place for the 21st. At the Open Evening there will be a chance to meet the Headteacher, School Business Manager, Deputy Headteacher and Early Years Lead; you will be able to meet each one in a separate room ensuring there are only even six adult in one space at a time.

In the event of a bubble having to close due to COVID-19 we will ensure the continuity of learning for your children. The children in Year 1 - 6 will take their packs home which will include school resources such as an iPad, charger and reading books.
