Further Information (Breakfast Club/Online Learning)

3rd January 2021 By rgregg

Breakfast Club and Drop-In will be open for key worker children and vulnerable children, as normal, and children should continue to wear school uniform.

School is already fully prepared for online learning, and you will receive your child’s login tomorrow morning (4th January), if you haven’t already. However, if you have not yet given consent for your child to access Office 365 (for live lessons/pre-recorded teaching videos), then they will not have been issued with a login. If your child is unable to access online learning, there is a paper-based option available for each class.

Information Regarding School Reopening (4th Jan)

3rd January 2021 By rgregg

Dear Parents/Carers,
School will be open tomorrow (Monday Jan 4th) for key worker and vulnerable children only. This is due to concerns around increases in national and local transmission rates. Remote learning will take place starting from tomorrow. I can only apologise for the late notification; however, this is due to reasons beyond my control. Please use the school email address if you have any questions and I will try my very best to answer them.
Kindest regards,
Mrs Hodgson

Early School Closure

8th December 2020 By rgregg

Dear Parents/Carers,

Following the government end of term advice for schools (received today 8 Dec) we are changing an INSET day, making Friday 18 December a non-teaching day and using the day for staff training.

It has been recommended that all schools ensure staff, parents and carers are aware of the following information and relevant arrangements regarding positive cases in the holidays:

  • Where a pupil or staff member tests positive for coronavirus (COVID-19), having developed symptoms more than 48 hours since being in school, the school should not be contacted. Parents and carers should follow contact tracing instructions provided by NHS Test and Trace.
  • For the first 6 days after teaching ends, if a pupil or staff member tests positive for coronavirus (COVID-19), having developed symptoms within 48 hours of being in school, the school is asked to assist in identifying close contacts and advising self-isolation, as the individual may have been infectious whilst in school.
  • School staff are not asked to remain on-call or conduct any contact tracing more than 6 days after the final day of teaching. Where a schools last teaching day is on Thursday 17th December, there should be no pupil contact tracing asks beyond Wednesday 23 December.

Thank you for your continued support this term. School will reopen Monday January 4th.

On behalf of the staff and governors, I hope you have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Elf Day!

4th December 2020 By rgregg

Kitchen staff decorated the serving area for some festive fun on Elf Day! The children enjoyed themselves, and laughed about the marvellous mischief that the elves had caused over lunchtime. Thank you to parents/carers for the kind donations to support the Alzheimer’s Society.
