The 2020 Perdiswell PTA Annual General Meeting to discuss the 2019/20 year has been postponed due to the Covid 19 pandemic.

 

In late 2019 a new virus began to spread across the globe causing high infection rates and hospitalizations. On 23rd March 2020 a national lockdown was initiated, and all schools closed as the public was placed in lockdown and pupils had to learn from home until the end of the school year. (except for children of key workers and children considered vulnerable)

 

In Sept 2020 pupils returned to school but were restricted to their class bubbles. Gatherings of up to 30 people were legally permitted but the government recommended avoiding gatherings of over 6 people.

By Oct 2020 the rule of 6 was put in place and people were not allowed to meet anyone indoors or outdoors that were not part of their household or support bubble.  

On Nov 5th 2020 a 2nd lockdown began for 3 weeks and was replaced by local restrictions.

On 4th Jan 2021 a 3nd lockdown began, and home learning returned until March 2021.

From March to July 2021 Pupils returned to school but remained in bubbles with visitor restrictions applying to school building.
