Covid-19 Statement January 2021

Dear Parents/Carers,

Following the government’s announcement, from Tuesday 5th January 2021, both Frithville and New York Primary Schools will only be open for Vulnerable Children and the children of Critical Workers from any year group.

The government reiterated again that the safest place for children is at home.

You can find out if you are classed as a Critical Worker here:

Whilst at home, remote learning will be provided. Pupils will receive a pack of work that will cover the first two weeks of lockdown. Parents can collect this from school and online support will begin on Wednesday 6^th January. Please refer to the emailed letters explaining collection times and our remote learning provision.

Thank you for your continued understanding and support.

Take care, stay safe,

Paul Bargh

Welcome to the New York Primary School Website…

We are very proud of our school. We operate as a big ‘family’, one where each child is important, and where they feel truly cared for, secure and safe.  We set high expectations for our pupils and standards of behaviour are high. Support is always available and we are constantly striving to raise academic standards.

As part of this successful team, you, as parents, have a key role to play in your child’s education.  Your child will sometimes have work to do at home.  Your support in this matter is vital.  We are always prepared to discuss this, or any other matter, with you and operate an ‘open door’ policy for all parents and carers.

New York Primary School is part of the Horncastle Education Trust along with Frithville, which is another small rural school, just five miles away and both of these schools are part of the ‘Small Aspiring Schools’ Collaboration, which includes: Gipsey Bridge Academy, Spilsby Primary School, Bucknall Primary School, Eresby Special School, Kirkby on Bain Church of England Primary School and Mareham le Fen Church of England Primary School.
