Another wonderful day was had by all of our youngest Key Worker Children today. We explored our forest, played hide and seek, searched for a fox, loved playing under the blossom trees and used recycling to design, build and paint models. #DeanClosePrePrep #ThankYouKeyWorkers

We are delighted to see that our protective masks made here at Dean Close have come into good use at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital, Birmingham, ENT ward. More will arrive at Gloucester Royal Hospital and Cheltenham General Hospital tomorrow #DeanCloseCommunity #thankyouNHS

We have been busy looking after our Key Workers Children over the past few weeks here at Dean Close School, and despite everything, we have had a lot of fun! #DeanCloseResilience #DeanCloseCommunity #DeanCloseAtHome #ThankYouKeyWorkers #ThankYouDeanCloseStaff
