The school made the announcement today.
Statement below
SCHOOL CLOSED TO YEAR 8 AND 9 FROM THURSDAY 19TH MARCH
As the week has progressed these guidelines have had an increasing impact on staffing levels, not just teaching staff but all our colleagues who make the school run every day. As such I have no choice but to enact the 1st scenario I told you about in my letter last week, and ask year 8 & 9 to remain home from Thursday.
Please understand we will endeavour to upload work to Brightspace for these year groups as quickly as possible, however our teaching staff are stretched to capacity at the moment and this may take several days to enact.
NHS KEYWORKERS
The West Bridgford School will do everything it can to remain open for Years 7, 10, 11, 12 and 13 as long as practically possible. In addition, until the school is instructed to close by government, we will endeavour to maintain a skeleton service for the children of front-line NHS and Emergency Services employees.
If you meet these criteria and your child is in years 8 or 9 please contact adminoffice@wbs.school to tell us your child will still be attending school. We will provide project work, books to read and IT facilities. When they arrive at school please direct them to go to the Learning Centre.
We are aware that a number of children on Free School Meals will be at home due to the partial school closure. If you are concerned about provision of a meal for your child at lunchtime, please contact us and we do all we can to help.
