Clarification from Public Health and LA regarding places in school during lockdown

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.

29.01.2021 letter for parents SR and MA

Home learning update

Dear parents, thank you so much for all your hard work during this latest lockdown, we appreciate all the home learning you are doing with all your children at home.

As you are aware the expectations for home learning have changed so in light of this next week, the work set will look slightly different.

We are placing weekly plans onto our website with some supplementary sheets (like English or maths specific work) . These plans will have direct links to the website we want you to access which have some excellent teaching materials, some of which the children are used to as we use them in school.

This work is new learning so it is vital that the children are accessing this , most work is designed to be recorded into the children’s ‘Home Learning ‘book. (If you need a new book or pens, pencils etc please just let us know) and some is still through our old favourite, Purple Mash.

Please continue to also access books via Rising Stars and practice times tables on Times tables Rock Stars.

To help you in preparation for the week ahead, the weekly timetable will be available each Friday for the following week (There is no expectation for you to complete the work over the weekend)

We thank you once again in anticipation of all your hard work with your children and please don’t forget to photograph your child’s work and send it to us via the year group emails or return them to school .

We will be ringing around parents again next week so please don’t hesitate to let us know if there are any barriers you are facing or any great learning or ‘Eureka ‘ moments .

From all of the staff at OLI
