We are planning to inform parents/carers about the progress and attainment of your child in an alternative form to the traditional evening whereby you come to school and meet your child’s class teacher face to face. Once we have finalised the details and arrangements we will let you know how this will work but in the meantime, please contact the school office if you have any problems or concerns regarding your child in school.

After a recent health and safety visit, we have been advised that the windows should remain open wherever possible for improved ventilation. Due to this, the temperature in school may fluctuate so therefore you may wish to supply your child with additional layers of clothing (e.g cardigan or vest).

In the week beginning Monday 19th October, we received a ‘Getting School Back on Track Grant’ donation from Asda Foundation.  We would like to thank Asda, especially Lynda Cole, Community Champion at Asda Walsgrave for their support.

Can we remind you to be careful when parking to drop or collect your children. We are very lucky not to have to drop them off on Deedmore Road but acknowledge that the car park gets full very quickly before and after school. Please be patient and considerate at these times to help us keep the children safe. 

On Wednesday 14^th October 2020, our children from Reception to Year 6 were offered the annual flu vaccination, which is administered via a nasal spray. We had a positive take up and we hope that this will help to keep our children healthy throughout the winter season. If your child was absent on this day, or if you missed the opportunity to register your child, then you can contact the vaccination team as follows: telephone – 024 7696 1422, email – bewise.immunise@covwarkpt.nhs.uk  Please contact the team to book your child an appointment to attend a vaccination clinic. The clinics will be held at St. Peters Centre, Charles Street, Coventry, CV1 5NP and they have various dates in October, November and December. Alternatively you can contact your local GP’s surgery, where they will also be able to offer the vaccination. 

All parents and carers were recently sent an email that gives access to the SIMS Parent app, which provides a secure facility to request updates to key information that the school holds for your child (contact details/allergies/medical information/consent etc). Please can you ensure that you use this facility to update us with any changes that we need to be aware of eg: if your child develops an allergy or if there is a change in contact information. If you have not received the invitation email, then please let the school office know.

On Monday we held our first socially distanced School Council meeting and discussed a number of things affecting the whole school. We asked children to ask their classes about home learning ie: what worked well and how things could be improved, new playground markings as well as ideas for Children in Need.
