Dear Parents,
Following recent government announcements regarding the re-opening of schools, the Director of Children and Young People's Services, Steve Reddy, has today written to all parents in Liverpool to explain the city position.
Please click on the link below to access the document on our Newsletters page:
https://www.normanpannell.com/stream/newsletters/full/1/-//
Please take time to read the letter in full and to understand it in detail before contacting school. We will of course be here for you and I will be very interested to hear your views or try to answer any questions you may have.
Regardless of the national picture, it is clear that Liverpool LA are putting our children's and school staff's health and wellbeing at the forefront of decision-making with regard to our local Covid-19 situation.
If you would like to contact me, please use the e-mail address: norman-ht@normanpannell.liverpool.sch.uk
I will try to respond individually as soon as I can, dependent on how much correspondence I receive.
Thank you for your continued support and good will during these very difficult times. Stay safe, and I hope you have a lovely weekend.
Yours sincerely,
Rob Simpson
Good evening everyone,
We have just posted our new staff lockdown video for the children, parents and wider school community. Our driving message is Healthy Bodies, Healthy Minds, Healthy Futures. When there are a lot of things out there to worry and feel stressed about, it is even more important to find ways to think positively, keep active, keep learning and keep having FUN!
Please click the link at the bottom for our school video resource page, or go to our Twitter page. We would love to see photos or videos of the children joining in and showing us what they've been up to - these can be posted as replies to our video. If you do post, please use @NormanPannellPS to make sure we don't miss it.
Stay safe, keep believing, keep smiling.
Mr. Simpson

Good evening parents and carers,
Last night (Sunday 11th May), Prime Minister, Boris Johnson, gave an indication of how and when schools might return.
Primary schools in England could reopen to some year groups from 1 June "at the earliest", says Boris Johnson.
The prime minister said a phased return to school would begin with pupils in Reception, Year 1 and Year 6, if infection rates and the government's other tests at the time allow it.

At this point, we have no further details on this. There is no set confirmed date, and we will be looking at further details and guidance as it emerges.
This week, the 'Netherley Hub' will be led by staff from St. Gregory's, therefore there will not be a Norman Pannell member of staff in the school office. Please do not phone school to ask about school re-opening. We do not know any further details than those published in the press. If you have any questions, please feel free to e-mail me at norman-ht@normanpannell.liverpool.sch.uk and I will try to respond, but I stress, we have more questions than answers at this point.
In the meantime, please stay safe at home, except for those limited activities permitted in government guidance.
Yours sincerely,
Rob Simpson
(Head Teacher)
Good morning parents and carers,
We are now into the 3rd week of the e-voucher scheme in Liverpool. Gradually, they system is improving and far more parents are having success with redeeming and then spending their vouchers.
However, I am aware from the system that there are some parents who are still not 'redeeming' their vouchers and therefore have not been able to spend the £15 per child per week that they are entitled to.
If this is you, please e-mail me to arrange a phone call for some help. We want to ensure that everyone gets the support they are entitled to. My e-mail address is norman-ht@normanpannell.liverpool.sch.uk
If you are not currently registered for Free School Meals, but think that you now might be, please go to the Local Authority website (link below) to find out more and register.
