Mount Charles response to Covid-19 - Spring 2021
Our school closed to all children apart from our vulnerable and children of critical workers on Tuesday 5th January as directed by the Government. A form was sent to all parents on the 5th January to book a place in school. If your circumstances have changed and you need a school place please contact the school office via email: enquiries@mount-charlessch.org or telephone: 01726 73911
National lockdown – closure of schools
Priority groups for all pupils on site
Our Trust is experiencing an extremely high demand for critical worker places. We ask that parents/carers do not use a critical worker place if there is another adult at home, even if you are entitled to. The national lockdown is intended to minimise community transmission. Rates in Cornwall are rising quickly. Please keep your children at home if you can do so.
In line with Government guidance, CELT will offer on-site provision to vulnerable pupils and a full-time place to the children of critical workers where you can demonstrate your employment falls into a priority group. In the case of ‘separated’ families, the child must also live with you during the week.
However, because of the high demand we may find it necessary to limit the numbers to ensure that pupils and staff can work safely and that the risk of transmission is not increased in our communities.
In the case of oversubscription for the places we have available, we will follow the prioritisation protocol set out below.
Priority 1: Vulnerable pupils, including those with an EHCP. Please see attached list.
Priority 2: Both parents (or the only parent) have a job in list A and require a place for on- site provision.
Priority 3: Both parents (or the only parent) have a job in list A or B and require a place for on- site provision.
Priority 4: Both parents (or the only parent) have a job in list A, B or C and require a place for on-site provision.

The likelihood is that in some CELT schools we will not be able to offer all parents the places they require, even if they are critical workers. If this is the case, your child’s name will be placed on a reserve list and you will be informed immediately if a place becomes available.
