Home Farm Primary School

Good afternoon everyone As we prepare to close our virtual school gates this afternoon for another week, can I say again a big thank you for your continued support and understanding. This week has been difficult for all. I do hope you have all stayed safe during the snowy and icy weather. I would like to pay tribute too to our HF amazing staff who are working miracles and rising to every challenge facing them. Thank you to those of you who have sent me messages praising the staff – I have shared them and staff are very touched. Your support really does keep us going. I fully understand the challenges of home learning (I have an A-level chemistry student daughter who I can’t help, I’m out of my depth, as she is far better at science than me. My younger daughter I can still assist!) and we will continue to support you in any way that we can. This is new to all of us and we are learning too. The last thing we want to do is create any stress at home in already difficult times. We fully understand your child may be reluctant sometimes to engage with work. Get the balance right for your family; little and often may work better. Please contact us if you need to. We are an incredibly proud of being a community school and will do whatever we can to support our HF family. If you feel there is anything we could help or support you with during the lockdown – please do contact us. Please say a hello to your children from me – I’m missing us all being together. Have a lovely weekend and please take care, Mrs Poole

Good morning everyone For those of you not in school, I hope that all is going well for you at home and you are working hard - remember that your teachers are checking. We are missing you! It is non uniform day tomorrow for Bronte house (green) Bronte earned the most house points last half term. If you are in school you can wear non uniform tomorrow - please try and add something green. If you are at home and are in Bronte house I'd love to see you celebrating and dressed up in green. Please send any photos to: MRS POOLE - email - office@homefarm.bradfod.sch.uk Take care everyone Mrs P x

Good morning Please see attached letter Many thanks Mrs Poole

Good evening I'm sure that you are aware it has been a rather turbulent start to the new year for school staff and will have heard that some schools have had to make difficult decisions to ensure safe staffing levels. The current state of play for our school is that we will open as normal tomorrow. Parents will be informed of any changes if they arise as soon as possible. I feel we are dealing with an ever changing picture at the moment and we may have to make some decisions quickly and not be able to give parents the amount of time to plan as we normally would. As always I thank you all for your understanding and support. I look forward to seeing you all on the drive tomorrow! Mrs Poole

School closes today for the Christmas holidays and will reopen on Monday 4 January. We wish everyone in our Home Farm family a very happy Christmas and a peaceful holiday. As always, a huge thank you to our parents and community for your support, understanding and kindness this term. Take care, Mrs Poole
