Christ Church Covid letters 2021 

A big THANK YOU to parents and carers

We realise the lockdown has caused disruption to children’s routines, relationships and learning. We also know that while some parents and carers have enjoyed every moment of supporting children with their learning at home for the last two months … others may have found the experience a little challenging from time to time. To each and every one of you, we say a massive THANK YOU for all that you have done to work in partnership with school staff to keep children’s learning moving forward.
