IMPORTANT NOTICE-UPDATED GUIDANCE
Fri 17 Dec 2021Dear Parents and Carers
Schools have been advised to develop contingency plans for January, and update our COVID Risk Assessments and remote learning. We have updated everything this week, and they are all available to see in our COVID section in Key Information (please click link below).
The government stated they will do everything they can to keep schools open, and we have everything crossed that this will be the case. We will be watching events closely during the school holidays and will keep you updated (we find out the same time as the nation during the public announcements).
Our advice to all parents is the same as it has been throughout the pandemic; please take your child for a PCR test if displaying COVID symptoms, and if a child displays COVID symptoms in school, we will isolate them from the class and expect parents to come and collect them as quickly as possible.
We know it is a worrying time, especially if you are seeing more vulnerable family members this Christmas break and we hope everybody manages to celebrate with their family and friends
Best wishes

Christmas Bazaar Day
Tue 14 Dec 2021The children have had a lovely day buying gifts for their relatives in our Christmas shopping bazaars. Presents are wrapped and labelled, ready to go under trees at home. Some items are bubble wrapped and are a little more fragile, and some may melt, so please take care when choosing where to put them.
Tomorrow we have our non uniform/Christmas party clothes day. We are hoping for a visit from the man in red himself! Fingers crossed!

Covid Information
Mon 13 Dec 2021We currently have 5% of our children not attending school due to a positive PCR and a further 5% awaiting PCR test results. The numbers are creeping up slowly, and we are urging any parents whose child is not feeling well/has a headache/been sick/had a temperature/ developed a new cough to take their child for a PCR test and not bring them into school until they have a result. The positive cases are in all year groups.
We are not part of the track and trace procedure any more, and we will be following our risk assessment if a child displays any of these symptoms when in school with us; that is to isolate children and to telephone emergency contacts, in the order they are on the list, to come and collect children as soon as possible.
We will continue to do our best to keep everybody as safe as we possibly can.
Kind regards

All week: Foodbank donations made in boxes outside. They will be collected by the foodbank on Friday morning.
Tuesday: Christmas Bazaar day. Please bring correct money in an envelope with your child's shopping list. Presents are £2.50, and each child can buy 2 presents. The presents to choose from are for adults/older teens. They will be gift wrapped and labelled. We still need wrapping paper donations and bubble wrap donations for this event. Please also bring in a named carrier bag for the presents.
Wednesday: Christmas Lunch and Party day. Party clothes/non school uniform can be worn all day (with sensible footwear please).
Thursday: Virtual Christmas Panto Day
Friday: Christmas jumper/top non school uniform day- please bring a donation for the Naomi House Charity.
Please bring in named carrier bags ready for children's Christmas bits to come home. If you have any spare carrier bags, please send them in.
Please don't worry if you forget one the above days-telephone the office and we will help to sort everything out.
Kind regards

Thu 09 Dec 2021Dear Parents and Carers
Due to the very heavy rain forecast for this evening, we are moving our Christmas Celebration evening to Friday 10th December. It will be at the slightly earlier time of 4.30pm (with children singing at 5pm) , so that everyone can carry on with the evening if they have Christmas plans.
We will see you on Friday!
Best wishes
