Dear parents and carers,
This week the government outlined the changes for schools operating procedures from Step 4 and produced updated guidance. The final decision about whether Step 4 commences on 19th July is expected to be announced on Monday.
In Leeds, our school term obviously runs beyond 19th July and school leaders are now having to decide whether to maintain bubbles and other control measures until the end of term. At Bramhope, we will be following our existing risk assessment and other control measures for the remainder of this term. This decision is supported by the local authority as well as our public health colleagues in Leeds.
I hope you agree that this is the prudent approach given the rising number of cases in Leeds, particularly amongst school aged children. I very much hope that all classes will be in school on the final day of this term and that staff, pupils, parents and family members will be well for the start of the summer holiday.
