Keep up to date with all the latest news happening in school at the moment.

• Coronavirus Update - School is still OPEN

  Wed 18 Mar 2020 Mr. Simpson

  Good morning everyone,

   

  Following government instruction, school remains OPEN today.

   

  Please follow guidelines strictly regarding keeping children off school and contact the school if you are keeping your child off.  Some parents have asked me about concerns with attendance - your child's, family's and public health is more important than your child's attendance and children who are off linked to Coronavirus will NOT be fined for pupil unauthorised absence.  Please ensure you phone school to keep us updated.

   

  As with other schools, we have members of staff off following precautionary advice, however, we have plans in place and are ready for the day ahead.

   

  Children working at home:

  Teachers will be uploading work to the class pages, with links to various games and resources.  As there are already a large number of children off, we will be mainly providing home learning activities through the website.  We will also be making paper activity packs available.  The website and other activities can be accessed through PCs, laptops, tablets, phones, Xbox and PS4.  Paper packs can only last so long, so in the event of a long period of closure, online learning will take the priority.

• Coronavirus update from Director of Children's and Young People's Services

  Tue 17 Mar 2020 Mr. Steve Reddy

  17/3/20 

   

  Message from Steve Reddy, Director of Children and Young People's Services

   

  Dear children, young people, parents/carers and families,

  
  Following my letter yesterday the government has now announced a number of additional measures.
  
  It is important that we all continue to follow the guidance set out by the Government and DfE and make the necessary changes.

   

  Whilst schools remain open some planned activities will inevitably be cancelled. 

   

  Schools may well restrict all but essential visitors on to the site.

   

  We will be speaking to Public Health England to consider the implications for children and staff with significant health needs.

   

  Anyone who has high temperature/fever and/or new persistant cough will be required to self-isolate at home for 14 days along with anyone in their household.

   

  We are very grateful for the continued support of all school staff, children, young people and families as we manage these difficult times.

   

  It is important that we continue to work together and support one another.

  
  Best wishes,
  
  Steve Reddy
  Director of Children and Young People’s Services.
