Good morning
Last week I contacted you to say that we were reviewing the current Covid situation and working on how to reopen our breakfast club as safely and as soon as possible.
It is up to every individual school to make an informed decision on whether it is safe for this initiative to go ahead based on their unique circumstances. I am aware that other schools may currently be providing this service but factors Llwyn yr Eos need to consider at the current time include:
- The limited space we have to deliver this initiative to a potentially large group of pupils.
- A high number of potentially vulnerable pupils who access breakfast club
- The recent surge of cases in our community.
Whilst breakfast clubs are not statutory I am as keen as you to reopen this service – Ysgol Llwyn yr Eos was one of the first school’s in the county to offer free breakfasts long before Government funding became available.
One misconception is that our decision is based on funding or staffing levels – this is not the case.
Our decision not to reopen the breakfast club in the short term is a decision based on maintaining the safety and wellbeing of all members of the school community.
I hope this clarifies the situation
Thank you for your ongoing support in ensuring Ysgol Llwyn yr Eos remains a safe environment for everyone.
Brian Evans
Head teacher.
