Moorside Community Primary School  will continue to provide care provision for the children of key workers, and those deemed most vulnerable, for the duration of the ‘school closure’ period. This will include care through the weeks of 6^th and 13^th April, the scheduled Easter break.  If your child, like the great majority, is not at school during this period then you can always phone 01422 365236 where calls will be answered from 7:45-3:30 but messages can also be left outside these hours. If you have any safeguarding concerns then Miss Worthington (head@moorside.calderdale.sch.uk) , Mrs Fishwick(mfishwick@moorside.calderdale.sch.uk) or Mrs Howarth (phowarth@moorside.calderdale.sch.uk) our Designated safeguarding Leads will always be available between the hours specified.

It is our intention to provide this care and service for the duration of this very difficult time for everyone.  In the extremely unlikely/emergency event that provision could not take place at Moorside Community Primary School then we would arrange care at Whitehill MAT or Ash Green School. We would also send our school staff to those settings if our children had to be cared for there and would provide details of the host school’s senior leaders and Designated Safeguarding Leads.  In the unlikely/emergency event that Whitehill MAT (Whitehill and Wainstalls) or Ash Green had to close then we would support care for their key worker/vulnerable pupils by hosting care provision which would be supported by their staff.

Yours faithfully, 

Miss. D. Worthington
