School is open today . The main roads are clear but please be careful on pavements near to school. 

 

Due to the heavy snow fall and the dangerous road conditions around school this morning we have taken the decision to close the school today. We apologise for any inconvenience but this decision has been made with the safety of families and staff in mind.

Dear Key stage 2 parents

This week has been especially difficult at home time on the KS2 yard due to the change in the weather and the start of the darker nights which have made visibility difficult.

Staff and I had some safeguarding concerns ensuring that all children were handed over safely to parents especially as some parents don’t come onto the playground but stand at the railings or remain in their cars. For staff on the gate it has also been especially difficult to monitor that these children have reached their parent safely.

We have therefore decided to review our end of day procedures in order to safeguard your children.

Moving forward from Thursday 10^th November the procedure for home time dismissal at 3.20pm will be;

• Children from years 3 and 4 will be dismissed from the gym from separate doors.
• The children will be in their class lines and will be handed over directly to their parent /carer at the hall door. Not only will this be easier to manage but it will also reduce the number of children on the KS2 yard.

 

• Year 5 and Year 6 will still be dismissed from the playground however we need all parents to come onto the playground so that all children can be handed over directly to a parent or carer.
• If parents could stand beyond the umbrella this will give staff and children the space to line up and dismiss the children safely.
• The children will line up with their teacher and the teacher will dismiss each child directly to their parent /carer on the yard.
• Please don’t call the child away from the line before the teacher has lined the children up and identified their parent/carer is there. This is to ensure that your child is sent safely home.

On another matter I have received several complaints from families and local residents due to parents parking on the zig zag lines outside the school gate. This causes an obstruction which can be very dangerous especially when children are trying to cross the road with their parents. Can I ask parents to park safely away from the school gate as it is putting the children at risk and could result in a serious accident?

I would like to thank you in advance for your co-operation as I’m sure you would agree that the safety of your children is paramount.

Mrs Catherine Sergeant

 

We are looking forward to seeing the children tomorrow.

Breakfast club will be open as usual from 8am and the cost is £1.50 per day.

To reduce congestion please use the gates suggested for your child’s year group. Their teachers will be waiting to receive them on their playground from 8.45am.
Families can enter together for convenience.

Ways to keep safe in school- Updated March 2021

PE information from 8.3.2021

Swimming Spring Term 2021

This week we have had an  increased number of calls from families requesting  places for key worker children. As always  we are doing our best to support our families but  we are running very close to full capacity whilst maintaining all health and safety Covid-19 guidelines. . It is important that we keep the numbers attending school as low as possible so that we can maintain  the safety of the staff and children in school at the moment.

I have attached below a link to a letter to parents from the local authority and public health . In the letter Steve Reddy  and Matt Ashton remind families that  children and young people, should stay at home unless absolutely necessary.  Children should only be sent into school if there is no way they can safely stay at home and learn remotely.

If there is an adult working at home or able to take leave from their non-critical job, they are asking parents to please think twice before sending your child to school.
This will allow those who really need to be in school to have access to a place. We don’t want to be in a position where we are unable to support safely the number of children wanting to
attend.

The safety of our school community is foremost in our minds and would ask that families consider all options for childcare before approaching school for places during lockdown.

The staff and I understand how hard it is for families working at home and we are doing all we can to offer support with home learning. We still have a number of  IT devices available to support home learning and if you feel that this would support you and your child please contact school. We also have free WIFI Sim cards available if  you need help with internet access.
