For Critical Workers please read the Critical Care Place Rationale.
There is an application form as well if you qualify, but if you can, the safest thing for everyone is actually if you keep your child at home.
Restricting movement is the best fight against this awful disease for everyone.
We are supporting those critical workers who need to get to work and have no alternative care.
Please complete the Critical Carer Application Form and email it to: admin@holytrinity.lewisham.sch.uk
Children who are confirmed and coming can wear their own clothes, no uniform necessary - this is not an education alternative, this is emergency childcare!
