School Closure – 09/01/2026

09/01/2026 – 08.30am

Dear Parent/Carer,

We would like to share how learning will be supported today while students are working remotely.

Teachers will set work for students that focuses on revisiting and consolidating recent learning from lessons in school. No new topics will be introduced, and there will be no live online lessons taking place.

All tasks and instructions will be shared with students via Go4Schools and school email so that everyone can access the work easily.

In some cases, teachers may also direct students to carefully selected lessons from the Oak National Academy, which include short videos and quizzes to support understanding. Where this is used, students will be given clear guidance on what to complete and the learning intention for the lesson.

Thank you for your continued support in helping students stay engaged with their learning.

Yours faithfully,

Mr M Walker
Deputy Headteacher

Dear Parent/Carer,

Although the rain looks to be clearing the snow in some areas, unfortunately we do not have the capacity to be able to clear the site and make it safe for staff and students. Therefore, the school will be closed today.

Please contact safeguarding@queenelizabeths.derbyshire.sch.uk if you need any support, help or guidance or the main office at enquiries@queenelizabeths.derbyshire.sch.uk for any other queries.

Thank you for your understanding.

Yours faithfully,

Mr K Davis
Deputy Headteacher
