Schools closed to most pupils

In line with national lockdown restrictions, Ivy schools are now closed to all pupils except children of key workers and vulnerable children.

These restrictions are expected to be in place until at least the February half term. We understand that this is an incredibly difficult time for families but please be assured that our schools have been planning for remote learning and are ready to support you and your child. Since the first lockdown in March last year, there has been a tremendous amount of innovation in remote education and our staff are committed to making sure that children continue to learn and progress while studying at home.

Schools are communicating individually with their local communities, so if you have any questions or concerns, please contact your child’s school directly and check their website regularly for updates and information.

We would like to thank all of our staff, children and families for your ongoing support during this period of unprecedented upheaval. We hope that this is the final stretch and we look forward to welcoming all our pupils back to school soon.
