Please find below a letter from the Local Authority that we have been asked to share with parents.
Key Worker Survey
Following the Government announcement yesterday we are trying to establish what will now happen in school. We would appreciate it if you could complete the attached survey regarding parents who are key workers. As this is time critical could we ask that you complete as soon as possible. Thank you for your continued support at this difficult time. As soon as we have any further information we will update you immediately.
Please complete and return the attached sheet to school by Friday 20th March if you require school provision next week as you are a Key Worker. (We have just received this from the Local Authority late this afternoon)
If your child is currently not attending school, please email it to sherburnprimary@durhamlearning.net
Information Update
Due to the Government announcement at 5pm on Monday 16th March Durham Area Youth (Youth Club) have suspended their service with immediate effect. The School Sports Partnership have also cancelled all football matches (training is also cancelled as a result of this), after school clubs and the Dance Festival at the Gala Theatre.
They have been in contact with the Gala Theatre and in terms of refunds for tickets the Gala Theatre will contact people direct to arrange refunds. If people paid by card, the refund will be put directly back onto the card. If people went into the Gala and paid cash for tickets, the refund will be given by cheque. The Gala have kindly asked that parents/guardians should not ring the box office and wait for staff from the theatre to contact them.
In line with Government advice we are also cancelling our Mothers Day Assembly and Parents Evening.
We are implementing enhanced measures to keep your children safe in school. Could you please help us with this by avoiding coming to the school office unless absolutely necessary – please telephone or email. Could you also let us know if your family is self isolating so we can update our register and plan staffing. Breakfast Club, Tea Club, Lexia & Homework Clubs will continue as normal.
Please check our Facebook page and website regularly for updates as guidance and information is changing rapidly and we will be using these to advise you of any changes.
Thanks everybody, let’s work together and keep us all safe.

On behalf of the children, staff and the Governing Body we would like to wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Have a safe and peaceful holiday time and we look forward to working with you all once again in 2020.
Christmas Parties
Reception, Years 1 & 2 will have their party on the afternoon of Wednesday 18th December and Years 3-6 will be on the afternoon of Thursday 19th December. We would be grateful for donations of food, both sweet and savoury, which should be sent in the morning of the party. Children should come to school in their uniforms and bring their party clothes in a bag, clearly marked with their name. They will be given time to change before the parties.
