Dear Parent and Carers,

If your work is critical to the COVID-19 response, or you work in one of the critical sectors listed below, and you cannot keep your child safe at home then your children will be prioritised for school provision.  The highest priority, therefore where we will allocate places, is where BOTH parents are key workers or where a SOLE PARENT is a key worker. 

The list of Key Worker is on the school website.  We will be opening for Key Workers children to be looked after from 07:45 – 09:00 (Breakfast Club),then 09:00 – 15:15 normal school day. If you would like to use the Breakfast Club this will need to be paid for as normal on ParentPay. 

The government has asked parents to keep their children at home, wherever possible, and asked schools to remain open only for those children who absolutely need to attend. Schools are therefore being asked to continue to provide care for a limited number of children - children whose parents are critical to the Covid-19 response.  Many parents working in these sectors may be able to ensure their child is kept at home. And every child who can be safely cared for at home should be.

If you think you are eligible and would like to apply for a childcare place at school, please email me on:

head.berkeleyprimary@northlincs.gov.uk

You must state in the email your child / children's names, which year group they are in and as much detail about both parents professions or sole parent profession.  Applications via ParentPay are now closed so please use email.

Best wishes

Anna Cvijetic
