COVID-19
School is only open to the children of critical workers whose families have no safe alternative childcare arrangements, and to 'vulnerable children' as defined by the government.
From 2 June, these groups will be extended into cohort 'Bubbles' with classrooms opening more widely than the period up until May half term. For now, these Bubbles are still only for key workers and vulnerable children. To book a place, please complete the booking form on the link below on a weekly basis:

You will also need to complete a form that indicates that you are key worker and email it to us at info@stgilesprimary.org.uk. You can download the form here.
The wider re-opening plan for 2 June has a dedicated Risk Assessment:
Full details for parents on re-opening on 2 June, including Bubbles, staff, rooms and procedures can be found below:

Information for Parents 8 June
We are emailing, calling and texting parents on a daily basis with updates. Please do not phone the school as the lines are not being monitored. Instead, use the info@stgilesprimary.org.uk email address.
Benefits-related Free School Meals vouchers are available for eligible families for use in local supermarkets.
Please communicate with your child's teacher via the class email system, or via Google Classroom.
If you are feeling anxious about anything, our pastoral team of Mrs Binney and Miss Hollis are monitoring help@stgilesprimary.org.uk.
Children have been given Home Learning packs, and have all been invited to engage with an online learning platform called Google Classroom, where tasks, challenges, stories and much more can be found. Google Classroom is the main source of set work, although we are liaising with individual families who have no access to technology and providing alternative options for these pupils.
Once you enter our full website, some of this information, and much more, can be found on our Facebook page. The link for this can be found on our Home page.
Thank you, stay safe, and God bless.

Jesus said,”Love one another just as I have loved you..... John 13:34
Gracious and loving God
We pray that you will
- strengthen our compassion and empathy
- keep us strong in body, mind and spirit
- help us to pray for those in need especially the sick, the elderly and those in isolation at home
- to care and love one another
This we ask through Jesus Christ our Lord and Saviour. Amen
