Dear Parents/Carers
RE: Provision over the coming weeks
As you know, schools were directed to close to the majority of children from the 23rd March by the government.
We have remained open for certain pupils including those of keyworker parents, children with educational health care plan and children identified as vulnerable.
Home learning packs and stationary with some blank exercise books are still available from school this week. Please visit the office to collect.
TVJ Site Closure
As of the 30th March, we will still be offering this provision, however it will no longer take place at the Thames View Junior Site. Thames View Junior students will be able to attend Riverside Primary School at the Riverside Campus.
I have been working closely with Mrs Kinnaird to ensure that we are able to offer the key working parents for both schools the support they need to be able to continue to do their critical occupations.
With the change of sites, this does mean some changes to the timings of our day as of the 30th . Parents are able to drop their children off at the front gate at Riverside Primary at 8:45am and collect them again at 3:00pm
As of 3rd April, if you need to collect any home learning packs for your child, these will need to be collected from Riverside Primary School. Otherwise, all home learning will be available online. Getting there:
Riverside Primary Address:
Riverside Primary School
Renwick Road

With the current government advice on social distancing, I would advise that wherever possible the children be dropped to school by the parent in their cars. However, if this is not possible you are able to catch the EL1 bus, which drops off at the Riverside Campus. The Thames View Junior site will be closed and remain closed until further direction comes from the Government for reopening schools.
Thank you for your ongoing support
