School closure – letter to parents – 25 June 2021

Joint letter from the Director of Public Health, CEO, Hope Sentamu Learning Trust and the Principal of Graham School to all parents/carers of students in Graham School

Dear Parents/Carers

As you will be aware, some members of the school community have recently tested positive for Covid-19. Because of this, a number of staff and students in the school have been asked to isolate having been identified as close contacts of positive cases.

Unfortunately, since our last communication, more positive cases have been reported to the school. So that we can prioritise both the quality of education as well as the health and wellbeing of our staff and students, Hope Sentamu Learning Trust has made the difficult decision to close the school temporarily. This decision is supported by North Yorkshire County Council and Public Health England.

Graham School will therefore be closed from Friday 25 June and remain closed until Tuesday 6 July.
