going back to school - year 6...

[keyboardwithpaper]

if my DC goes back to school and then in 2-3 weeks time if we think it is unsafe, can we pull out? We sign up that he woudl go back to school, but not sure if definitely he will be going till 20th of July - that is when teh school term ends...Can we pull out if in July we think there are too many cases etc, unsafe?

Absolutely!

Yes you can. My Y6 child started back last week. I told her if she didn't like it, or felt unsafe, we would pull her out. Turns out I shouldn't have worried, she absolutely loved it and was up at 7 this morning ready to return!

My daughter has just gone back today and I said the same that if felt unsafe or hated it she can stay home. Think she is desperate to get back and it's been so well organised I'm really impressed with the school.

On the advice of our local authority our school have said, once you have elected for your child to return for a year group that is open then they are back. If your child is absent you must call in each day, however we will not mark down as unauthorised we will give a 'y' code and you will not be harassed.
So I think the official line is you can't pull them out again but in reality we aren't going to make a fuss as long as you tell us where your child is for us to fulfill our safeguarding duty.
