Date: 22nd Sep 2020 @ 10:11am
Some updates to the position of childcare in relation to the Lancashire restrictions are as follows:
- Informal carers will be able to provide care for children and vulnerable adults in parts of the country with restrictions on interhousehold mixing
- Children under 14 will be able to be cared for by individuals outside of their immediate household as part of a care bubble
- Arrangements must be part of a consistent childcare relationship
From Tuesday 22 September care bubbles will be able to form in areas of intervention, to allow families to share caring responsibilities with another household.
The introduction of care bubbles will allow informal childcare arrangements to continue with another household, as long as they are consistent. One-off arrangements, such as a play date, though will not be included…

Key worker guidance, by Mrs Moxham
Date: 20th Mar 2020 @ 7:31am
If you cannot safely look after your child/ren due to being employed as a keyworker, please complete the form on the education at home - letters to parents page or telephone school.
Apologies for any additional stress this has caused- we are operating in ever difficult times and guidance from the Government changes daily.
welcoming you in the morning, by Mrs Moxham
Date: 18th Mar 2020 @ 9:46am
Good morning,
From today, the children will be able to come straight into school at 8.45 in the morning to avoid gatherings on the playground and would encourage parents and adults collecting children to take additional precautions of spacial distancing at this moment in time. Children will continue to come in their usual doors and wash their hands on entry to continue our hygiene measures.
If your child attends the hub, we will collect them from the door without the need for adults in school unnecessarily and on collection will return them to the door. Please just ring the bell as usual. If you have any questions , please contact school or Kelly on the Hub phone.
Thank you for understanding and supporting the measures that we are putting in place.
Health update, by Mrs Moxham
Date: 17th Mar 2020 @ 9:55am
Good morning,
I thought it may be prudent to add information to the news page of the website as things change in relation to Government advice.
In accordance with the advice yesterday, we have noticed that some of our families have chosen to self isolate their whole families as a precaution based on a family member showing even mild symptoms. This is a decision for you to make on the advice from the Government and we respect that. It is important that we acknowledge that this will happen and not overly worry or see this as an indicator of increased cases within our community. The guidance is clear but ever changing so please review on the Government website regularly https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/covid-19-stay-at-home-guidance
For those children in this position, I have set up a new page on the website with links to learning for each class. This can be found under Education at home' tab
If your child is off as they are displaying symptoms, they are ill and so there is no expectation of work, however if they would like to complete any of the activities or learning, we would be happy for them to share this with us on their return.
We would be grateful if you could keep us fully informed via email Head@bretherton.lancs.sch.uk or bursar@bretherton.lancs.sch.uk or call on 01772 600431 so we can continue to assess the risk and make plans for our school.
If you have any concerns , please contact school as we are here to help and support our families at this time.
