Southport Schools United in Support Following Recent Tragedy

Dear Parents/Carers,
We wanted to reach out and express our sympathy and solidarity with all of our
families. Following the tragic recent events in Southport, we extend our sincere and
heartfelt thoughts to the families impacted by these events and we hold dear the
wonderful memories we have of Alice, Bebe and Elsie Dot.

We stand with you as a community and we are committed in offering our unwavering
support as we navigate together through these most difficult of times. Like you, we
are so grateful for the responses of the emergency services and other professionals
this summer as well as the community response and volunteers.

We believe that now, more than ever, it is important we come together as a
community. The positive response from Southport has been overwhelming and it is
this positivity that we need to build on in the coming weeks and months.
We encourage open communication between the schools and parents and we are
determined to make sure that the return to school in September is a calm and
reassuring one for everyone

We are proud of our diverse community and know that there are many of us who
need reassurance now. Please be confident that our schools are safe and inclusive
places where each and every child is cherished and valued equally.

Our school is part of the Southport Learning Partnership which includes all the
schools and colleges in Southport. This partnership provides great strength and
consistency ensuring we work together at the most challenging of times. Working in
partnership with Sefton Council and other key partners provides us with access to
additional support and training which will be so important as we all return to school.
Your individual schools will have communicated information regarding the return to
school and there is support available on the Sefton Council website, this page is
regularly updated.
