Hotspot

Unfortunately, Due to the high number of Covid cases in Waltham Forest, it has now been designated a hot spot. This means primary schools in the borough will only be open for children whose parents are classified as key workers or if your child is deemed vulnerable. We will be providing online lessons for all other children on a daily basis. 

The online training will be under year groups on the school website. You will need to ensure that you have access to Microsoft Teams. There will be live lessons as well as other daily activities for your child to complete. 

The staff will be in school for training on the 4th and 5th January. If you have any issues or questions please email your child’s year group or office@missiongrove.org.uk or call the school office. 

We are sorry that we are not entering 2021 in better circumstances and thank you for your continued support during this time. 

Nobody expects you to be teachers but just to support your child accessing the online lessons and ensuring that they read for 30 minutes every day. 

We will continue to share any information that we have as soon as we get it. Please log on to the website every day and check the school APP and Twitter account.

Everyone at Mission Grove would like to wish you all a happy New Year and prosperous 2021. 

Stay safe and I look forward to seeing you all soon.

Oh yes it is!

Dear parents/carers,

You may have read in the media that the Department of Education has recommended schools close on Friday 18^th December as they are concerned about Covid Track and Trace impacting on Christmas Eve otherwise. After consulting with the Local Authority and other local school about this matter, I decided to follow their advice, and will therefore now be closed on Friday 18^th December for an INSET day. I apologise for the lateness of this announcement, but this was only conveyed to schools by the Government yesterday. Although not ideal in the timing, I feel that this is the right decision for everyone’s safety.

Throughout all of the routines and changes during Covid 19 you have all been extremely supportive and I can’t thank you enough.

For families who are entitled to free school meals, you will be receiving another letter regarding Subway lunches that will be available over the Christmas period. If anyone has any needs or concerns that they feel the school can help with please don’t hesitate to contact me.

Last Day of term 17^th December normal time, after school club will be running.

Children return to school Wednesday 6^th January 2021.

We have a bigger and better rink this year but we have frozen the price. A bargain at £4. The children will be skating in their bubbles - tickets on parentpay now or pay cash to class teachers.
