Bubbles

Kirkstall St Stephen's C of E Primary School has created a bubble system where by all bubbles are of one class of 30 pupils. We have as much as possible reduced the number of staff visiting in each of the classrooms on a regular basis. We do however need to cover staff absence when appropriate so additional staff may be taken from elsewhere to ensure we do everything within our power to keep the school open.
