Since the start of the coronavirus pandemic, schools have exercised civic leadership with quiet determination.

We are this week all facing up to a raft of measures and advice designed to ease some of the lockdown restrictions.

In the education sector, we had Boris Johnson’s announcement on Sunday evening, the 60-page report that followed a day later and then more guidance from the Department for Education on Monday evening.

Unity Schools Partnership, and all our member schools, of course want to see our children return to school - when it is safe to do so.

We have seen the Government announcement that if conditions allow there may be a phased reopening of primary schools from 1st June with children in reception classes and in Years 1 and 6 to be the first to return.

Staff behind a food bank launched at Samuel Ward Academy in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic have praised the kind-hearted community for their support.

The Haverhill school started the foodbank last month to support local families and were inundated with donations from local companies and staff members.

Unity Schools Partnership is delighted to announce that two of our schools have been appointed to support other schools in using educational technology.

Thomas Gainsborough School and Coupals Primary Academy submitted a joint bid and were chosen as ‘EdTech Demonstrator’ schools by the Department for Education.
