Harmony Trust Position Regarding Wider Opening of Academies
Date: 21st May 2020 @ 2:50pm
Dear Parents and Carers,
As you will be aware the Prime Minister has asked all schools to begin to consider how they can safely achieve wider opening of schools from 1.6.20, if at that time the government feel it is safe to do so. Currently all school leaders are working closely with the health and safety experts within the Trust to carefully consider the guidance we have been given by the Department of Education, to identify what steps we need to take to minimise the risk to pupils, parents and staff to achieve this. Please be assured your child’s safety and that of our staff is of paramount importance to us and we are working through a wide range of measures to reduce every risk.
Thank you to those parents who have already completed our questionnaire regarding your view on sending your child back to school when it opens more widely. If you have not already done so we would be grateful if you could complete this, as it is assisting with our planning. We will be writing to you again tomorrow with more information on the trust position and the plans from each academy.
Urgent: Parents please read and return questionnaire
Date: 18th May 2020 @ 8:56am
Dear Parents/Carers,
Please can you help by filling in this quick questionnaire to help us prepare for 1st June re-opening.

Covid-19 - National Free School Meal (FSM) Voucher Scheme - do we have your correct email address?
Date: 1st Apr 2020 @ 12:31pm
As you may have seen in the media the government have now rolled out the national free school meal voucher scheme which will now be used to issue weekly vouchers ​(excluding school holidays) to families eligible for FSM.
We will start to access the scheme from Monday 20th April, following the Easter Break. You will receive an email with an e-Code and instructions on how to download a voucher for your chosen supermarket.
The vouchers will equate to £15- per eligible child per week and we hope to process the first ones on or before Monday 20th and Monday 27th April and on a weekly basis thereafter until your child returns to school.
In order to make sure you can access your voucher please make sure we have the correct and latest email address, if you are unsure please email:
info@reigate.theharmonytrust.org
Giving the name of your child and your preferred email address and we can then make sure that you receive the activation email for your vouchers.
The government have decided that there is no requirement to continue to provide Universal Infant Free School Meals to pupils in Reception, Year 1, or Year 2 who are unable to attend school.
Only children in those year groups who are eligible for benefits-related free school meals will be supported.
Please note there have been reports of families, not ours, receiving scam emails and text messages from fraudsters asking for banking details in order to provide access to FSM vouchers, we will never ask for your bank details in order to supply the vouchers if you receive such requests please delete them as they will be fraudulent.
