  Children MUST bring a named water bottle with them every day. Looking at the weather forecast, long lasting sun cream should also be applied in the morning! ☀️

• Home Learning from June 1st

  Sun 31 May 2020

  If your child is not returning to school tomorrow, fortnightly home learning activity grids can be found on our school website, using the link below. Please scroll to the bottom of the page and click on your child's year group.

   

  Oak National Academy and BBC Bitesize are recommended by the DfE and contain daily Maths, English and Topic lessons for children in all year groups. We highly recommend children access these at home.

   

  Tapestry and the Purple Mash blogs will also be monitored daily by one of our teachers, as a way of children at home keeping in touch with school.

• June 1st Information

  Sat 30 May 2020

  We are opening on Monday 1st June to children in Nursery, Reception, Year 1, Year 6 and key worker children who have already informed the school office (or completed the survey). Please DO NOT turn up with your child on Monday if you have not informed us they will be returning.

   

  Here is some key information to remember if your child is returning on Monday:

   

  • Children should wear uniform with trainers, or a similar item if they have outgrown their uniform.
  • Children may only bring the following to school:

  - a water bottle (ALL children must bring one each day)

  - lunch box (if needed)

  - coat/sunhat dependent on the weather

  - a bag of spare clothes to remain at school for the week (if children have daily accidents)

  • All messages for teachers/the office MUST be via email or phone. Parents/carers will not be permitted to approach classrooms or the school office.
  • Any children who will be accessing breakfast club MUST be booked in through the office. DO NOT just turn up for breakfast club as we will be unable to cater for you.
  • If your child, or anyone in their household, is showing symptoms of Coronavirus you MUST NOT enter the school site. You should follow government advice regarding self-isolation.
  • You MUST enter the school site through your designated gate, within your staggered time, and follow the one-way system. 2 metre social distancing MUST be followed at ALL times.

   

  The following provides an overview of drop-off times and places for each year group:

• Knitting Club Blanket for COVID-19 Ward

  Thu 21 May 2020

  Mrs Linford and the WI ladies have now finished the blanket that knitting club started before school was closed. It is being sent to Ward 22 at Queens Medical Centre - the COVID-19 end of life ward. The blanket will be used to make the beds look more homely and relatives will get to keep the blanket as a memory. The WI, who support knitting club each week, have made a few of these blankets, as well as making pairs of hearts where one is with the deceased and the other kept as a memory. A huge well done to all involved! 

  

• Critical worker childcare over May half term

  Mon 18 May 2020
  Childcare provision will be available for critical workers only during half term (Tues - Fri). This is to ensure we have time to prepare school for more children possibly returning on June 1st. Please inform the school office ASAP if you require childcare Tues-Fri during half term. Thank you.
