Headteachers Update 17th September 2021

Welcome back to a new school year and a special welcome to all our new children and families that joined us last week.  Everyone has made a wonderful start to the term and it’s been brilliant to see so many smiles around school.

Last week we also welcomed a number of new staff.  We hope they enjoy working as part of our amazing team.  After 2 weeks back after the summer holidays, I’m sure your child(ren) will have been eager to tell you about some of the changes in school, after a number of Covid restrictions have been lifted…. we had our first whole school assembly in the hall, they can now play with friends from other classes in their phase and we are very gradually moving back into the hall for lunch.  Next week we resume swimming lessons in Year 3 & 4 and our Year 6 children go on a residential trip.  Mrs Thompson is so excited she’s got her suitcases packed already.

However some of our measures to minimise the risk of Covid remain in place to protect children, staff and families.  Additional cleaning during the school day, maintaining good hand hygiene, keeping classrooms well ventilated and staff wearing face coverings in communal areas during the busiest times of the day.

I’m sure this will reassure you all but please don’t hesitate to contact us on 01904 806655 or by email at admin.hmp@ebor.academy if you have any further questions.
