COVID-19 Key information
In order to support the children of key workers who are needed in our front line services. Childcare provision is available on request. This is not a educational provision and activities will be based upon current government guidance designed to support the safety and well being of both students and staff.
The advice is very clear that families should, where at all possible, keep children at home. Therefore parents/carers should only request provision if either both parents are key workers and no other child care is available, or in the case of a lone parent family where the parent is a key worker. Should it become apparent that this is not the case we reserve the right to refuse a place for your child in this provision. We are closed to day as we currently have no families that have requested this provision over the Easter period. If you have any questions regarding the above you should call 01603 251655 and a member of the safeguarding team will respond within 48 hours.
In order to access a place for your child we ask that you complete the form below and email safeguarding@cityacademynorwich.org before 12 o’clock for the following day. All parents\carers need to complete the new form, including those who have previously notified us. The form only needs to be completed on your first application, however we do ask that you communicate each day as to whether your child still requires a place. We are basing the offer on a minimum number of 3 children in order to support the well-being of both students and staff attending. Should the numbers fall below this threshold we will not open on that day and this will be communicated as soon as possible.

We greatly value the work that our frontline services are doing under immensely challenging circumstances and request that you support the efforts to keep everyone as safe as possible by not accessing this provision unless no other option is available.
Thank you.
