Home Learning Information
Dear Parents/Carers,
Thank you for your patience during these uncertain times. Today has allowed us to contact all parents and allocate places for those children of key workers who have no other provision at home for childcare during lockdown.
We have set up home learning on the school website www.mystclares.com and using a platform called Purple Mash. Your child will have an individual log in that will be emailed to you or you can contact the class teacher using the new class email address.
Nursery – nursery@st-clares.liverpool.sch.uk
Reception – reception@st-clares.liverpool.sch.uk
Year 1 – year1@st-clares.liverpool.sch.uk
Year 2 – year2@st-clares.liverpool.sch.uk
Year 3 – year3@st-clares.liverpool.sch.uk
Year 4 – year4@st-clares.liverpool.sch.uk
Year 5 – year5@st-clares.liverpool.sch.uk
Year 6 – year6@st-clares.liverpool.sch.uk
These email address will be monitored by the class teacher during working hours only and are there for you to get support for home learning. When using the email please include your child’s name so the class teacher can identify you.
Please be aware that our teachers are also teaching key worker and vulnerable children in school each day, so therefore responses will not be immediate.
Our school website under class pages is where you will find the information for your child’s home learning. Any problems please contact school.
Dear Parent's/Carers,
As you will no doubt be aware we have entered another period of lockdown. In order to ensure our school safely meets the needs of all children and staff, alongside the Governing Body, we have taken the difficult decision to close tomorrow, Tuesday 6th January. All parents will be contacted tomorrow as soon as possible and a place arranged for key worker and vulnerable children if needed.
We will open school on Wednesday 7th January for key worker and vulnerable children only.
We appreciate that this is short notice but very little time was given from the Government to allow us to plan for this accordingly. Please keep checking your texts and the School website for further updates.
Please contact school by telephone if you have any queries.
Thank you for your continued patience and support.
Mrs E MacKenzie

Safeguarding Information and Guidance regarding Domestic Violence from Merseyside Violence Reduction Partnership:
Domestic Abuse during the lockdown is a very real concern, and family members will be at an increased risk. We need to ensure that we are proactive in asking appropriate and safe questions while families are in lockdown.
Police guidance on the ‘999 silent solution’ call:
The 999 call system allows all 999 callers to access support if they are unable to speak during the call. It is important that either a noise is made or that 55 is pressed. For example, if you can only make noise, such as tapping the handset, coughing, crying or even talking to the offender, then these actions will alert the attention of the BT operator.
If you are supporting someone who is suffering with domestic abuse, speaking out is not always an option when someone is in real danger, so please encourage use of the 999 silent call. The Police Force and specially trained officers are still there for people during the lockdown. The below list details services which are also available:
For support:
In an emergency always, ring 999. Using a silent 999 call followed by 55 (or tapping/coughing into the phone) will enable police to respond.
