Alder Hey has produced a coronavirus factsheet for kids to educate them in child-friendly language. The file can be found on the school closure page.

There are some links to activities you can do to stay active at home on the school closure page PE section.

As it is likely that your child(ren) will have finished the work from their home learning pack, future work will be added via Seesaw. To access this your child(ren) will need access to the 'Seesaw class' app (or app.seesaw.me website) and their individual seesaw home leaning login sheet. If you did not get your child's home learning pack where this was contained, you will need to email school homelearning@eastcroftpark.co.uk confirming the full name, class and DOB for your child & I will email it out to you. 

As we have limited staff available at this time and all office staff are currently working from home, please be advised that we are unable to respond to telephone enquiries. If you need to contact the school please do so via email, eastcroftpark.de@knowsley.gov.uk or Parent Apps. We aim to respond to your enquiries as quickly as possible.

 

If you are a key worker and we currently have you on our register for emergency childcare please make sure you keep us up to date of any changes that take place to the schedule you have provided.

 

If your enquiry relates to a new request for emergency child care for Key Workers please ensure that your request is made by 4.30 pm the day before child care is required (Monday-Friday). This enables the school to provide adequate staffing for the next day to ensure the safety of children and staff and appropriate social distancing can be applied.

 

May I remind you that the emergency child care for Key Workers should be used as a last resort.

 

All families that may require additional support during this time have been provided with an  emergency contact number and the contacts for a range of services.

We have been notified of scams surrounding Free School Meals that have been circulating on social media.

 

We have not received any reports of scams in Knowsley, but at this current challenging time, we would urge everyone to apply caution. With regards to Free School Meals, as per the Government guidance, we are in the process of arranging a voucher scheme which will not involve transferring money or requesting bank account details. Residents are reminded to not give any personal or financial information to someone you do not know, however plausible they may sound.

 

Genuine organisations would not telephone you to ask for such information. If you receive a letter, email or phone call that you suspect to be bogus, contact the Citizens Advice Consumer Service on 0808 223 1133 for advice. Don’t feel pressured to reveal any information.

 

Could any important queries be directed by email to the school office eastcroft.de@knowsley.gov.uk. School have a skeleton staff and there may not be someone in the office to answer the phone. We will answer any questions asap.

A reminder that all KS1 pupils and KS2 pupils entitled to free school meals can collect a free

packed lunch 12.00-2.00pm at the following children’s centres : Star -Tower Hill, Eden - Westvale, Pride - Simonswood Lane.
