To everyone within the Drapers Mills Primary community.
I, like many of you, have more questions than answers after last night's government announcement regarding the proposed re-opening of Primary Schools and the phased return of our children.
Please be assured, we will be looking in detail at any further communication from the Department of Education over the next couple of days, and will keep you all updated on the plans we put in place to ensure that the school can open safely and within the guidelines that have been set.
In the meantime, the school will remain closed to all pupils, with the exception of children of key workers and children identified as being part of 'vulnerable groups' who will continue to come in as normal.
I will be in touch again shortly.
Stay safe.
Joe Manclark
