Keep up to date with all the latest news happening in school at the moment.

• Macmillan Coffee Morning:

  Mon 28 Sep 2020
  On Friday 25^th September 2020, we held a Macmillan Coffee morning with a difference! The children were invited to order a cake online and they enjoyed a lemon drizzle cake, Canadian ginger cake or flapjack. We managed to raise a fantastic £204, which will be donated to the Macmillan organisation so that they can continue to support people with cancer.

• Appropriate Clothing:

  Thu 24 Sep 2020
  As the temperatures drop and we enter the Autumn and Winter months, it is really important that children have a warm coat and waterproof shoes to keep them dry and warm at playtimes and lunchtimes.  Can you please make sure that these are labelled with the children’s name so that they don’t get lost.

• PE Kit:

  Mon 21 Sep 2020
  Just a reminder that for all PE lessons at school, hair should be tied up, jewellery removed and suitable outdoor attire is needed. Now that the weather is also getting colder, children will need a long sleeved top/jumper/zipped jacket along with jogging bottoms/leggings and trainers. Unless it is raining, outdoor PE will take place as per class timetables. 

• Face masks:

  Mon 14 Sep 2020
  Official guidance for how to wear a mask correctly can be seen at https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-51205344 It states that to be effective the mask must cover your nose and mouth to limit the spread of droplets. Can we ask that you please look at this guidance to check that you are wearing your mask correctly.

• Bikes and scooters:

  Thu 10 Sep 2020
  Children are allowed to come to school on bikes or scooters but we ask that they don't ride them between the main gate and the playground for safety reasons. Now that people are keeping a larger distance between each other there is even less space than normal outside. Can you please check that the children have a lock to secure them during the school day.

• Face coverings:

  Thu 10 Sep 2020
  Following advice from the Local Authority, from Monday 14^th September, we need everyone over the age of 11 to wear a face covering while they are dropping off or collecting children. The number of positive tests is rising across the country and we need to introduce this measure to keep you and your families safe. Thank you in advance for your cooperation. Moat House pupils should not wear face coverings as they are too young.

• School Council:

  Thu 10 Sep 2020

  Each class has elected two children to represent their class on Moat House's School Council for the school year 2020 - 2021.  The aim of the School Council is to involve pupils in decision making, in and around the school.

  Class	School Councillors	Class	School Councillors

• Birthday sweets:

  Wed 09 Sep 2020
  Many of you send sweets in for the rest of the class when it's your child's birthday. Unfortunately, this isn't possible while we are in the current situation with COVID-19 as we are limiting the amount of things that children bring in to school. As soon as things return to 'normal' we will let you know as I know that the children love to share their sweets on their birthday.

• School Uniform:

  Tue 08 Sep 2020
  It has been wonderful to see our children looking very smart in their new school uniforms for the start of this brand new year. Please may I take this opportunity to remind you to label all items of clothing, shoes, bags and packed lunches with children’s names. Thank you. 

• New Systems and Procedures:

  Mon 07 Sep 2020

  We are now operating on a cashless and paperless basis. Please see details on how this will work below:

  Communicating with Parents: 

  All school letters and information will be sent to you electronically, so please ensure that you check your email inbox regularly. The school website remains the best place for school news and key information. www.moathouse.coventry.sch.uk

  SIMS Pay:

  We are now only accepting payments to school via SIMS Pay. SIMS Pay is a safe, secure and easy way to pay online for school items such as school meals, trips, uniform .etc. All families have been sent an activation letter; if you have not received yours, please email us office@moathouse.coventry.sch.uk

  SIMS Parent:

  Parents are responsible for ensuring that the school holds accurate information about themselves and their children. You should have received an email that will give you access to the SIMS Parent app which provides a secure facility for parents to complete online data checking sheets for their child and then review and request changes to other key information that the school holds (contact details/medical information/consent etc). Please contact the office if you have not received the invitation email.

  School Meals Ordering:

  School meals must now be ordered electronically in advance.

  • We will send out a link to the ordering page on a Monday morning, this will be for meals for the following week.
  • Meal choices must be submitted by Tuesday evening at the latest, as we place the order for ingredients on Wednesday morning. Please note, after Tuesday, choices cannot be changed.
  • If we do not receive your order by Tuesday, your child will receive the main menu option each day (if they are vegetarian, they will be given the vegetarian option).

  From September, the cost of a school meal is £2.15 per day or £10.75 per week.

  We understand that there are quite a few adjustments to get used to, but we have implemented these changes to minimise the spread of infection and assist with social distancing. If you have any questions or need any assistance, the school office are always happy to help and are available via phone or email.
