Children attending School

St James' is open to children of families who are classed as Key Workers and those designated as Vulnerable.

Key Worker Family Information

If you are a Key Worker and would like to request that your child attends school please do so using this form: https://forms.gle/JcUnTvyEDqLSTvWc6 
You must wait until you receive confirmation from us before your child/ren start attending.

Due to the extremely high numbers of requests for places that we have recieved and the need to maintain our Covid-Secure safeguards, please note that places at school for the children of Key Workers are not guaranteed. We are doing our very best to support as many families as possible. 

We will review every Key Worker request at 2pm each day. If we are able to accommodate your child we will contact you to confirm this. Requests received after 2pm will be considered the following day. You must request a place using the online form above.

If anyone in your family has any symptoms of Coronavirus at all please make sure that all family members stay at home. If anyone in the household has symptoms or has taken a test for Coronavirus then children from that house should be kept at home and not sent into school.

Face Coverings and Masks

Government guidance remains that Face Coverings and Masks are not recommended for use in Primary Schools. Children below the age of 11 are not required to wear Face Masks in required settings.

We understand, however, that some members of our community feel that they should wear a Face Mask or feel safer wearing one. Please contact us if this is something you would like to talk with us about.

Face Mask guidance can be found here.
