Message from Headship Team

Dear Parents,

As we reach the end of our fifth week since the beginning of term, we feel we must express our thanks to all parents, children and staff for the 'can do' attitude in supporting our school and community through this pandemic. Until Covid is out of all of our lives, we must continue to be vigilant in order to keep everyone safe. 

Please click here to view answers to some frequently asked questions about Covid. 

Every decision we make has the safety of the children, staff and community.Please ensure that you continue to follow all the guidance that has been sent home, and on our website. 

Please advise us as soon as possible if your child or household have symptoms or your child or someone in your household has had a positive test.

If your child receives a positive test over the weekend or has COVID 19 symptoms we ask that you report this to us as soon as possible on the COVID 19 report an absence form on our website, or alternatively click here 

Sometimes, incidents may occur between children and understandably, parents feel they need to resolve the concern by approaching children/other parents themselves. Please do not talk to other children or parents regarding incidents that have occurred in school between  children. We always advise children to talk to an adult in school about any worries and staff will resolve the matter and inform parents of the outcome. Thank you for your co-operation. 

Finally, thank you for maintaining social distancing when waiting at the school gates, and for the patience and understanding of our dismissal timetable.

Attendance

Please remember that all children are expected back to school.

Mandatory attendance is applied, including:

• Parents’ duty to ensure that their child of compulsory school age attends regularly at the school where the child is a registered pupil
• Schools’ responsibilities to record attendance and follow up absence
• School to have the ability to issue sanctions, including fixed penalty notices, in line with local authorities’ codes of conduct

It is vital for all children to return to school to minimise as far as possible the longer-term impact of the pandemic on children’s education, wellbeing and wider development.

We would like to stress how important it is to attend school and establish routines. Children in school have worked with a blended curriculum to address any gaps from lockdown and are  now accessing a full curriculum. Missing out on lessons leaves children vulnerable to falling behind.

We understand the anxiety the Coronavirus Covid-19 pandemic may be causing. The school has taken every measure recommended by the Government and Public Health England to ensure the safety of all the children and staff. 

Continuity of absence of your child will result a referral to the Local Authority’s Education Welfare Officer and a penalty notice.

EVERY DAY IN SCHOOL COUNTS!

Thank you for your co-operation. 

News from Reception classes

The children in reception have settled in brilliantly and are beginning to build relationships with their peers. They are already so used to the different routines of the day and manage these as if they have been in school for years. You can always hear the sounds of children laughing and having fun from the reception corridor.

The adults have been challenging the children in their construction work lately. Here you can see the children selecting their own resources so that they can make their construction even better and more interesting. They worked collaboratively, sharing thoughts and ideas and adding a narrative into their play. What fantastic teamwork!

In the playground on Monday we had about forty children working collaboratively to create a huge obstacle course. It was fantastic to stand back and watch the children support each other, come up with different ideas and work together to complete the challenge they had set for themselves. Well done Reception!
