I am not sure how to start – probably contravening national protocol, and social expectation, I am going to start by saying well done for sending your kids in. It is certainly not something I was taking for granted. And for what its worth, for now, once again, its definitely the right thing to do. School is fine. School is safe.
What's left of this half term however centres around you, kids, covid. That’s the centre of our work…. Followed by teaching and learning! We can furlough many things, but not, if it is safe to do so, kids in school.
Returning to convention now, may I take this opportunity to welcome you all back. I don't know about you but I genuinely can't decided if I've just had my summer holiday, just come back after Christmas... oh no, we're in lent, and approaching Easter! In addition, as I said to staff, “let’s try and focus on the positives, let’s try and see the positives, and if positives are thin on the ground let’s create some.” Welcome back everyone, and thank you for rocking up today.
Take it easy folks, deep breathes eh, and let’s focus on the many many many positives,
