Welcome
Applications for Essential Childcare
Dear parents/carers
I hope you have had a good Christmas and New Year and that you and your loved ones have managed to stay safe and healthy.
As you are aware, from the letter sent out by the Director of Education for RCT, school will have a compulsory closure on the 4th and 5th and will move to online learning for the 6th – 8th January for all children. We will continue to run our online learning through Seesaw.
School will be making ‘Emergency Hub’ provision for a small number of vulnerable children, and parents will be contacted Tuesday.
Provision will also be available for high priority key worker children:
• Blue light workers, including NHS, Police, Ambulance and Fire Service staff;
• Social care workers (including care homes); and
• Childcare or education staff.
Please only apply for this provision if you clearly meet eligibility, are scheduled to work and have exhausted all possible childcare avenues.
This provision will be for core school hours, including breakfast club provision, 8:10am - 3:10pm and children will access the same online learning as children engaging with learning at home.
If you meet all the above criteria and would like to apply, please send an email before 4pm Monday 4th January to head.pontrhonddaprimary@rctcbc.gov.uk detailing the name of your child/children and exactly when the provision would be needed. If you have have any queries at all that you would like to discuss, then please get in touch via email, the website or phone.
I am sorry for the continued disruption, and once again, thank you for being so supportive of our school community.
Please stay safe and take good care of yourselves.
Mrs. A. James
Headteacher
