We will be in contact Monday with regards opening for children of key workers / vunverable. If you have any queries or questions you can email the school at diamondhallinfantacademy.co.uk or call (0191) 5640222 from tomorrow Mon 4th Jan 2021.

COVID-19 Information

Year 1 Returning to school

'' It was absolutely brilliant to see some of our Year 1 children return to school this week. Everything went really well - the children adapted so quickly to the new ways of keeping everyone safe. They were great and said some really positive things - ''I liked today when we made jelly fish, I liked playing the Beans on toast game with my friends" (a socially distanced game which is great fun). Another child said on going home - "I had a really good day".

Thank you to parents who followed all our safety guidance. You were brilliant too. 

Below you will find a link to a useful video, which parents may wish to watch with their children, explaining to them the current situation around Corona Virus. The video attempts to explain in a child friendly way why the children are unable to attend school and visit family and friends at the moment. We hope you enjoy it and find it helpful....

Hello children, parents and carers!

We thought you might like the video below where you will see lots of familiar faces.  I wonder how many faces you will recognise?  I think some of you will know them all! You might even recognise the song - sing along if you do! :)

Stay safe and take care!
