Update for schools: 26 January 2021

This update includes information about free school meal vouchers for February half-term and a reminder about the upcoming safeguarding webinar.

February half-term

The DfE has confirmed that schools will close as usual over February half-term and will not be expected to remain open to vulnerable children and the children of critical workers during that week.

Using the COVID Winter Grant Scheme funding, the council will be providing schools with one week of vouchers to support families who are eligible for free school meals. We will confirm later this week when these vouchers will be available.

Safeguarding webinar for schools: Thursday 28th January 2pm - 3pm

Schools are invited to attend a webinar on Thursday afternoon with BCC officers to discuss safeguarding in this current period of lockdown.

Please book places using the Eventbrite link below and a Teams link will be sent before the session.
