Happy Friday everyone!
The purpose of this Friday bulletins is simply to ensure that you, as parents and carers, receive important information.
We love you but…
As we continue to keep our school as safe as we can, please don’t come to the school building in the mornings or during the day unless absolutely essential. If you would like to speak to a member of staff, a phone call and an arranged appointment is best. Thank you.
Our ‘new normal’
In response to some parent requests, we’ve made a short video to show you what our ‘new normal’ looks like now that we are back to school. The children have new routines, spend all their time in their ‘bubbles’ and have a very clear focus for their learning. We hope it is helpful.
Family ‘back to school’ survey
We’re keen to know how the return to school has been for you as parents / carers and would be grateful if you could spare 5 minutes to share your thoughts via this survey link. Thank you.
Staying vigilant
It is clear that the threat of COVID-19 remains significant and we must not lose focus on that. This requires ever present vigilance and it is vital that nobody attends school or uses school transport if they are displaying any symptoms. Our best chance of keeping our education settings COVID-free is by keeping it out in the first instance.
Young people and staff members must not attend if they or any household member are showing symptoms of COVID-19, such as new persistent cough, temperature and/or loss or change in ability to taste or smell.
The person should seek a COVID-19 test as soon as possible. This can be done via the government portal www.gov.uk/get-coronavirus-test. In line with national guidance, until the test results are received the person and members of their household should self-isolate.
