We have closed the school for two days for a deep clean. This is an extremely cautious approach taken in light of information we received recently regarding a link between a child at Yattendon and a family in another school who have been affected by COVID-19. Following the government announcement on Wednesday 18th March, this means that the school will remain shut for most pupils until further notice. However, from Monday the school will be open for the children of key workers. The government will be confirming who this includes and we will send you a message when we know. We will be sending out further information about home learning by the end of the week. Please accept our apologies for the short notice regarding our closure. Please continue to follow advice issued about social distancing to protect your families as much as possible. When we hear anything about school reopening, we will let you know in the usual ways. If you have access to a parent Whatsapp group or Facebook page, please help us by spreading this news to our community. Thank you very much. Best wishes, Guy Perkins
