There are two confirmed cases of C-19 in Peter Turner Primary School. We have assessed the risk to staff and children and taken advice from Public Health England and decided to temporarily close PTP Key Stage 1 and 2 (Years 1-6) until we receive further information. The Early Years bubble is not affected. 

Following a confirmed case of Covid-19 in the Margaret Brearley part of Whitefield this weekend, we have taken the decision to temporarily close the Margaret Brearley ‘bubble’ for the time being. 

As you know, our school will be fully open for all children from Monday September 7th. Here's an update on our arrangements for the return to school.

Whitefield Academy Trust will submit plans for a new community training café to the council later this month. If accepted and if consultation with local residents goes well – construction of the new café in the park opposite Joseph Clarke School could begin this summer. 

A letter to parents and carers about her plans for retirement and and introducing Kirstie Fulthorpe who will be the Academy Trust's new CEO.

The Prime Minister’s announcement on May 10^th leaves advice for schools essentially unchanged. There is no firm date for school re-opening and the Department for Education’s position remains that parents should keep their children at home where possible. We are waiting for further guidance about what the government policy means for special schools and for our school. 

The safety and wellbeing of our school community remains paramount and senior leaders and directors continue to feel that there are significant risks as set out in the letters you received on 16^th and 18^th March.

The whole academy, Whitefield Schools, Joseph Clarke School and Project Search will be closed from the end of the day on Thursday 19th March until further notice due to the continuing impact of the Coronavirus.
