Christmas finish times

Dear Parents,

Yesterday the Department for Education (DfE) issued advice to schools regarding the end of term arrangements.

The DfE have now advised schools that they may use an INSET day on Friday 18th December. The change in directive from the DfE is to allow school staff to finish for Christmas on Wednesday 23rd December, as school staff are required to support contact tracing for the 6 day period after school closes to pupils on Thursday 17th December.

In light of the above,

RIVCARE VALLEY PRIMARY SCHOOL will close to all pupils on Thursday 17th December  at the usual staggered times of:

3:00pm EYFS and any siblings

3:10pm Year 1/2

3:20pm Year 3/4

3:30pm Year 5/6
