Keep up to date with all the latest news happening in school at the moment.
Frequently asked questions regarding further school opening from 2nd June can be found on the Parents area of the website.
I'm writing to you following the Prime Minister's announcement this evening. I'm sure that you may have questions about what this means to you and your child. At this stage, there is little clarity about how this will impact Four Lanes Infants and as such, I can confirm that in the short-term nothing has changed and school remains partially open only for those children already in attendance.
As soon as further details in respect of the announcement are received, these will of course be conveyed to you. In the interim, I would ask for your patience in this matter. Further information will be provided in the coming days and weeks once the Government has issued more detailed guidance. As always, safety for all is of paramount importance.
Kind regards,
Mrs J Mallaby
Headteacher
Message from Gavin Williamson - leader of National Association of Head Teachers (NAHT)
"You should only send your child to school on Monday if you have to, because your work is critical to our COVID-19 response".

At this moment in time, we are still waiting for further updates and information from the Government in regards to: who qualifies as a key worker and which children will be expected to continue to attend school.
As soon as we receive this guidance, we will notify you via School App message, email, school website and Facebook page.
Once we have been updated, we will be sending out an online key worker survey to help us identify which children will be remaining at school.
Thank you for your continued support and understanding.
Many of you will have heard the announcement this evening that schools in the UK are to shut from Friday until further notice as a response to the Coronavirus pandemic. Schools in England and Wales will close except for looking after the children of key workers and vulnerable children.
Exams will not go ahead this academic year.
At this point no school has received any additional information to that announced live tonight. We hope that we will get further guidance tomorrow and will update you as soon as we can.
Thank you for your understanding.
Unfortunately, due to a continued number of classroom-based staff having to self-isolate, I need to extend the partial closure of school until the end of this week in order to ensure the school remains safely open for the majority of children.
This will remain the case unless we have further staff absences or a directive to close from the government.
YR will be closed on Thursday 19th & Friday 20th March. The only exceptions to this are for children whose parents are front-line emergency services staff (police, fire, medical), children entitled to pupil premium grants or school staff. These children should be brought to (and collected from) Butterflies Classroom. Y1 and Y2 classes will remain open.
If you are unsure if your child is entitled to the Pupil Premium Grant, please phone the office.
The difficult decision to partially close the school on Wednesday 18th March has been made. This affects YR only with the exception of children whose parents are front-line emergency services (police, fire, medical) or school staff.
