Inspiration, Celebration and Education
Keep up to date with all the latest news happening in school at the moment.
Dear Parents,
We have been contacted today by the South West Regional Authority regarding the increase in Covid rates. They have informed us that we must re-introduce additional controlled measures to reduce transmission for the first two weeks after half term. This includes class bubbles being re-introduced and restricting the mixing of year groups.
Unfortunately, this will mean that we are unable to have any After School Clubs during the first two weeks back after half term and therefore After School Clubs will not start again until the week beginning Monday 15th November. Breakfast Club will still run during this time as we can maintain social distancing with the number of children enrolled.
We will also be unable to have any whole school assemblies or invite parents in during these two weeks. It has also been advised that face masks should be worn on the school site during this time if at all possible.
I am so sorry that we are having to return to these restrictions and bring in these precautionary measures, however we must do everything we can to prevent transmission, prevent school closure and maintain appropriate levels of education.
I wish you all a safe and happy half term break and look forward to seeing you all again on Monday 1st November.
Kind regards,
Mrs Tippen
We are very much looking forward to the Parent/Teacher Meetings this week and talking to you about your child. However, we are aware that Covid cases are rising at the moment and therefore we would like to offer you the opportunity of keeping your in-person appointment or changing to a virtual meeting. If you would still like to attend in person, please turn up at your allotted time. If you would like to move to a virtual appointment, please contact your child's class teacher as soon as possible so that they can organise this. In order to keep everybody safe, if you or your child have any symptoms of illness on the day of your appointment, please can you arrange a virtual appointment.
Remember to wear something yellow to school tomorrow to celebrate World Mental Health Day and the start of Wellbeing Week 😀
If your child has English as an additional language, please come along to a meeting in the School Hall at 2.30pm on Wednesday 13th October. Mrs Hibell and Mrs Pollard will be sharing how we support your child in school and ways that you can support your child with their English
Don't forget to book your slot to meet your child's class teacher on Tuesday 19th October or Thursday 21st October between 3.20 pm and 6.00 pm.
