Sunday 15th November (5pm) Dear Parents, Unfortunately, due to the confirmed case of coronavirus, we have to close another bubble because of staff shortages.  This is due to a considerable number of staff having to isolate.  We are also having to close the Breakfast and After School Clubs for the same period of time. The Bubble we are closing is Class D – Nursery and Reception.  The children in class D will be able to return to school on Thursday 26th November 2020.  Breakfast and after school clubs will also start again on Thursday 26th November 2020. If your child is in class A, C and D, you will have been sent a letter earlier today to say that your child can go to school.  This letter supersedes the previous one for Class D. Children in classes A and C can still go to school (even if they have a sibling in classes B or D) providing they do not have any symptoms of the virus. If you have any queries, please contact me by email: headteacher@furnessvale.derbyshire.sch.uk I would like to assure you that we have done everything we can to minimise the disruption and these decisions have been difficult to make. Best wishes and keep safe, Carol Taylor Headteacher
