During this period of self-isolation and social distancing, parents and carers can continue to contact the school during school hours, for support around home-learning, the provision for Free School Meals (FSM), and with any concerns about your child's wellbeing.

The school will be closed over the two weeks of the Easter break, aside from the in-school sessions for the children of key sector workers, where this is an absolute necessity.  Please email p.hearle@ludlowschool.com should you need your child to attend, or should there be any urgent issues.  Please see the latest document from BEAM, about support for children's mental health needs during this time. We are working on getting the FSM voucher scheme rolled out for the start of the Summer Term (20th April).  Thank you for your patience with this.  One of our issues is not having up to date email addresses, so if you have not been receiving emails, please let us know your changed email address.

Staff will not be setting any further school work, or responding to emails about work, during this two week "holiday" period, although children can carry on with any work that they have not had time to complete.  Thank you for all your support with your child's learning during this time.  I know it cannot be easy, but parents are telling me that they have found having a timetabled "routine" works well, where there is an agreement that home-learning takes place during a set time each day.  Mr Sampson sent out advice around this last week.  Do email him (g.sampson@ludlowschool.com) if you did not receive this.

Best wishes to you all.  I look forward to the time that I can send out some positive news about reopening the school.
