WE HAVE SPACES IN RECEPTION FOR CHILDREN AGED 4 AND IN NURSERY FOR CHILDREN AGED 3. PLEASE CONTACT THE SCHOOL OFFICE FOR FURTHER INFORMATION.

Children from age 2 upwards can now be tested at the Leisure Centre. It would be really helpful if you could get your child tested before they return on March 8^th and then once or twice a week up until Easter. With over a third of people with COVID being asymptomatic and not even knowing they’ve got it, this is a good way of making sure that it’s not being spread at school. Staff at school are currently being tested twice every week for the same reasons.

If your child or anyone else in your household has COVID-19 symptoms (persistent cough, high temperature or loss or change to sense of taste or smell) they must not come to school. You should arrange a test through the online portal or call 119. Household members must self-isolate for 10 days unless the test result is negative. If the result is negative they can stop self-isolating.

We need all the school Chromebooks to be returned as soon as possible to school so that the children can use them in their lessons. If you were loaned a Chromebook to support home learning can you please return it safely to the school office. So that there aren’t long queues can we please have devices from Year 5 & 6 returned on Monday, Year 3 & 4 on Tuesday, Year 1 & 2 on Wednesday and Reception on Thursday. If you can’t come in on the allocated day, please come in on Friday.

If your child is ill please keep them at home whether it is COVID related or not.

We hope to be able to resume these in the Summer Term.

Thank you to everyone who is working with us to keep the children learning during this challenging time. I’ve heard some great things from the teachers about how well most children are engaging with their learning and it sounds like there is some serious hard work going on!

You should still be having regular communication with your child’s class teacher about the online learning that they are doing. We expect that all children should complete the work that is set and the government have made it very clear to us that we must do this throughout the lockdown. Teachers are available during the school day to discuss this with you. If you need any support with connecting to wifi or using data please talk to your child’s teacher and we will see what we can do to help. It would be really helpful if you could let your child’s teacher have photographs of any work that they have completed so they can mark it and provide feedback.

I would remind the families who are currently sending their children to school to keep them at home if possible and only send them in if there is no alternative. If your child doesn’t come in on a day we are expecting them can you please contact us to let us know.
