Daily update 7th May 2020 – Bank holiday Friday

It is May bank holiday and VE day tomorrow.  The families of our vulnerable and keyworker children have told us that they don’t need to attend tomorrow so we won’t need to be open for them after all.  However, the team making PPE will be continuing and there will be IT maintenance work taking place (more details below).  Email will still be checked and some staff will still be choosing to work – there’s always a lot to do!

If you are doing something interesting or exciting over the weekend, please let us know and send in a photo if you can.  We really love seeing all of the pictures you’re sending to us – thank you. ?

IT maintenance tonight

There is a system upgrade taking place overnight tonight, starting at 10pm.  This should have little or no effect on students but it might mean some slight disruption for staff on Friday morning.  We just wanted to make you aware of this in advance in case you or your son/daughter experienced any disruption to IT or communication systems on Friday morning.

PPE – local media story

Yesterday the Lincolnite picked up the story of our team making PPE.  We have surpassed 2000 items produced and distributed now, which is fantastic.  The article can be found at the link below and features Mr Gallimore and Mr Machin.  Radio Lincolnshire have also asked for an interview so that will be recorded today.  It will then go out on their news bulletins, so listen out for that.

Quiz

Last Friday the quiz was played by 53 families. Well done to the Hutchinson family who won, they have received their prize of an Amazon e-voucher.  This Friday’s quiz code is 142010. The link once again is https://myquiz.org.  If anyone has any questions please email helen.gordon26@outlook.com and the winner of the quiz can contact her on this email to receive their prize.  Thank you to everyone who is taking part, it’s nice to see that you are enjoying the quiz.

Have a lovely weekend everyone.  Stay safe.

With very best wishes,
