The Croft Appears on BBC Points West

30 June 2020
The Croft Appears on BBC Points West

Earlier this week, our principal, Elaine Murphy, appeared on BBC Points West in a segment about the mental health issues facing children who won’t be able to attend school until September.

Speaking to reporters, Elaine discussed what staff at The Croft are doing to help support the mental health of our pupils. A number of our pupils are also featured taking part in a lesson focusing on their wellbeing during the crisis.

With the support of The White Horse Federation, we are making mental health our top priority for every pupil. This has been a difficult period for every family, and we look forward to seeing everyone back in school when it is safely possible!

Dear parents and carers,

With current news and media full of speculation and conjecture about local lockdowns and the reopening of schools in September, I want to assure you that we're poised to take any required action.

To ensure we both make better decisions, we’ll communicate any plans when it’s closer to September. This will give us time to receive guidance from the Regional Schools Commissioner, the Department for Education, and we'll have a clearer understanding of the ever-evolving local situation. Experience has taught me that making plans on uncertainty and speculation can be costly and confusing, so we won’t do this.

I’m writing this message to let you know we have matters in hand, and you are at the forefront of our thinking. We expect to know more later this month and I will update you with further information on the 21st August.

Until then, please continue to look after yourselves and your loved ones. Health, well-being, and welfare should be at the front of all that we do.

Take care,

Dr Nicholas Capstick O.B.E

CEO, The White Horse Federation
