Merry Christmas everyone from Year 4! We hope you enjoy our Christmas video 😊🎅 Just click on the link below.
Normally, we would invite prospective parents and carers into our school to show them round and share some of the things we do at Delves. This year we haven't been able to do that, so the children (and a couple of parents) have helped us to make a video about our school. Please click on the link below if you would like to take a look. We hope you enjoy it!

Dear Parents/Carers,
As you are aware, we have always said that our plan to reopen Delves Federation from 1st June was dependent on the availability of scientific evidence to support this next step. Despite the Government’s assurance that schools could move ahead with reopening plans from this date, there has been counter advice issued by members of SAGE which advocates delaying opening by a further 2 weeks.
Many councils across the country have taken this decision away from schools but in Walsall it remains the decision of the Headteacher and the Chair of Governors. We have spoken at length as a Federation Leadership Team and, whilst we feel that our plans are robust and that we have a strong model for reopening, we do not feel in light of the new advice that this is the right time to proceed, particularly as many of our children and staff fall into the vulnerable groups outlined by the Government. Safety of staff and children has always been our key consideration.
The Governing Body has agreed a delay in our opening arrangements until the week beginning Monday 15th June and it is our intention to open to Reception, Year 1 and Year 6 children at that time. We will of course continue to make provision for Key worker and vulnerable children. If this provision is something that you need or that you think your child may be eligible for, please get in touch by email or phone or use the online booking system which can be accessed through the Delves Junior School Website under the tab – parents – coronavirus.
Further details regarding the return to school arrangements will follow.
Thank you again for your trust and patience during this time of great uncertainty.
Yours sincerely,
Mrs A. Arnold
Executive Headteacher
Dear Parents/Carers
Further to the Prime Minister’s briefing yesterday evening, detailing the potential return of Year 6 pupils from 1st June. We are still awaiting further clarification concerning this and like you, we have many questions about how this will work in practice.
With this in mind, we ask that you do not contact school regarding this at the present time. We will update all parents with further details when more information is available. We will need to prepare for how this will be managed safely with social distancing measures in place and factors such as numbers of teaching staff available. As always our primary concern will be the safety of children in school.
Many thanks
Mrs A Arnold
Executive Headteacher
