As you are aware we do have high staff absences at the moment and are struggling to secure staff, however, we are trying our best to ensure that your child’s day runs as smoothly as possible and that they have the best possible opportunities. We are really looking forward to this afternoon celebration and will do all that we can to ensure the children have a fun time!

 

In terms of staffing moving forward, due to increased staff absences, we are using a range of supply agencies. However, demand for staff is high at the moment and agencies are finding it increasingly challenging to secure high quality staff. We have been fortunate to be able to secure Mrs Cook to teach until the end of term and we have just found out today that we have secured Mrs Graham too. The current plan is for Mrs Cook to teach in Nursery and Mrs Graham to teach in Reception. We will do our very best to ensure that your child has consistency of staffing however this may not always be possible in the current climate. Thank you for your continued support over this challenging time.
