Helping Your Child Understand 

The children may begin to realise over the next few days the severity of the isolation they are going to live within for a while. It is normal for them to feel angry, sad, frustrated or disappointed about this. Below is a social story and a therapeutic story to help them understand.

Accessing Provision

Our provision will be open for you if you need it, including through Easter, if you are an identified critical worker and your child cannot be kept safe at home. However we do not wish to make any unnecessary journeys or contacts between staff so we do require some notice. We ask that you email us on admin@beaford-primary.devon.sch.uk by 6pm if you require this for the following day. If you are working set shifts and you know these in advance, more notice allows us to plan effectively. We hope that this will allow you to be flexible and us to keep staff and our community safer. 

Guidance from the Secretary of State for Education, Gavin Williamson states, “You should only send your child to school if you have to because your work is critical to our COVID-19 response. If you are able to keep your child at home, you should. Stay home, save lives.” 

Home Learning

Teachers will provide a weekly outline of activities your child could undertake. These will be personalised for each class and may include reading, counting, times tables, phonics, topic projects, suggested websites, writing or maths activities. 

We will aim to send an update email from your child’s class teacher via parent mail each day. You can provide feedback to your child’s teacher via a generic email address. These are:
