Unfortunately we have 11 children in year 1 away with a sickness bug today. We hope that they all get well soon.
With this in mind can we please remind families of the importance of keeping children off school if they have been sick for a further 48 hours after the child last vomited. This is very important to prevent the risk of transmission in school.
Thank you - we appreciate your support in this important matter.

For the parents and families of children that will be starting in reception in September 2021.
We had hoped to share information today about our planned children transition mornings on on the 29th and 30th June and our planned parent meeting on the evening of June 24th.
We are postponing this decision until the government have confirmed when we will move to stage 4 of their planned easing of lockdown restrictions, CLICK HERE and any changes in advice to schools, CLICK HERE.
We will share any information on this website as soon as we have it and hope that this will be within the next couple of days.

We have been informed this morning that a child in year 6 has tested positive for COVID 19. This child was in school on Tuesday and Wednesday the 8th and 9th of June.
With this in mind we are closing the year 6 bubble as children will have to isolate for 10 days.
Any year 6 child in school on Tuesday 8th or Wednesday 9th June needs to isolate for 10 days. This isolation period finishes at 11.59pm on Saturday 19th June.
More information will be published later today about remote learning.

We have already shared that all government tests for the end of the year have been cancelled. Children in years 1,2,4 and 6 that normally take SAT tests for the government won't be taking them this year.
Even though the government tests won't be taking place we will still be producing an annual report to parents that will share information about the level that children are working at. To help ensure that we are able to report accurate assessments we are going to have an 'internal' test week at school.
This will take place week beginning June 14th and all children in years two and up will be taking some tests this week. The tests will be taking place in the children's classrooms and will be marked by the teachers. The teachers will then use these results, along with work done in class to help assess the standard that children are working at, compared to national standards.

Many families take the opportunity to use the walk too and from school to exercise their dogs whilst enjoying the school run. Our dog loving families rightfully enjoy this daily walk too and from school.
Due to the one way system of dropping children off and picking children up some families have begun carrying their pets through the school and across the playground.
After the Easter break we will not be allowing this to take place and will return to the 'no dogs on school grounds' procedure that we had in place before COVID and our one way system. Parents that want to use the walk to school to walk their dogs are still encouraged to, but will need to pick up and drop off their children on Laund Nook and not come through the school gates.
Thank you for your support in this matter as we work to keep all our families happy and safe, including our dog lovers and our children that are apprehensive about dogs and need to be reassured that our playground is a safe place.
Many thanks for all of your support last week.
All of the children that have done pocket money jobs around the house have raised £534 for this worthy cause. Well done to them.
