  We would like to say thank you for supporting us at this time by keeping your child at home. At Dunmore, we are here to provide child care to the children of key workers. 

  Ideas for activities and websites are on the year group pages. Also, please check parentmail for teachers who are available to support you with ideas for learning at home. However, please do not feel the need to be pressured into home schooling your child during this period. Just give them the best care you can to stay safe and well until we are able to safely reopen.
