    For many this week has developed into a new home routine and it has been great to hear about some lovely new family traditions, the new skills and a slower pace of life for us all.

    I am one of the members of staff in school today and it is VERY odd for school to be this quiet. We have had the children in this week whose parents are needed for key work during this extraordinary time. I know that many of us were out on our doorsteps last night ‘clapping our thanks’ t...

    It has been an unprecedented and very unsettling time for us all and I will keep this newsletter as brief as I can, after daily emails about the Coronavirus all week.
