Welcome to Oak CE Primary School!
Oak Primary – Covid 19
Information on wider opening of the whole school in September
I am delighted to say that school will be open for all pupils from the 9th September. We are really looking forward to seeing you all then and hope that you have a good summer and manage to enjoy some activities now that lockdown has eased a bit.
Over the summer and from September onwards, it is extremely important that you continue to follow the rules on social distancing, handwashing, wearing face coverings, avoiding crowds and isolating and getting tested if you or anyone in your family has Covid symptoms.
It is much safer now to return to school and other activities, but Covid has not gone away and we all need to continue to keep ourselves and others safe.
The pupils, parents and staff that have been attending school over the past 17 weeks have done a fantastic job at doing this. Thank you and keep it up!
Below you will find a guide to how school will be organised in September, a map with our one way systems on and two letter from Kirklees. One is about staying safe and helping to reduce the rate of Covid in Kirklees. The other is about support for families over the summer.
Please read these carefully as they contain details of times when your child will start and finish school each day as well as where/when to drop off and pick up.
Please also see a short story attached below to help explain to pupils how the bubbles may affect them and to help ease their worries.
Have a lovely summer and we hope to see you all safe and well in September.
Kind regards, Mr Bendall
