Headteacher’s Letter 19th October 2020
Dear Parents/Carers,
This is a final letter before we break up for half-term on Thursday 22 October. Thank you for ensuring that your children have returned to school ready to learn, smart and well supported. Behaviour from pupils has been impeccable and thanks to school and parent effort attendance has remained high throughout the half term. A majority of pupils have over 98% and whole school attendance is at 98%. This is an excellent achievement and means we can get on with the job of teaching.
Headteacher’s Letter 12th October 2020
Dear Parents/Carers,
Ahead of the news on further restrictions due to Covid 19, I wanted to thank you for your support and cooperation in the measures we have put in place in school. This is not an easy time for any of us and it is appreciated if we work together. Please wear a face covering outside, at school, and please do not try to speak to teachers at the doors of the classroom in the morning or evening. From 8.30 lessons are in progress for those who arrive early and we also want to minimise adult to adult contact – the reason for our phased entry and separate doors. Please wave from the edge of the playground now your child knows the route to their classroom door. Staff are taking every precaution in their personal lives so that they can remain in school and I thank them for that. To reassure – phone calls to the office, emails and notes via your child will be acted upon immediately. You will be allocated a phone call on 23 October when each class teacher will ring round to discuss settling in.
Please contribute to our virtual harvest by sending £1 for St George’s Crypt beds for the homeless. Thank you.
We will continue to work together so that we can provide the best for all our children – keep up the reading and listening to your child read.
With best wishes and thanks for your support,
J Turner
Headteacher

Headteacher’s Letter 6th October 2020
Dear Parents/carers,
I would like to start by saying how proud I am of all our parents, pupils and staff. Thank you for getting your children into school and for navigating the information on illness. There has been a very nasty feverish cold going round but overall our children are attending well. After a month pupils are back into the routine of school and are enjoying seeing their friends – I think that the outside picnics, at lunchtime, have been very popular! There are challenges in running the school – staff are not getting their usual breaks as each zone/bubble needs separate supervision and our separate lunchtimes mean 11.45 to 1.30. If you would like to volunteer for some of that time or be short term paid please ring the office and I will contact you.
Headteacher’s Letter 3rd September 2020
Dear Parents/Carers,
Tuesday 8th September: Autumn Term Start ALL Pupils
We are looking forward to welcoming all children from Reception to Year 6 on Tuesday 8th September. School is once again compulsory and it is important that excellent attendance gets us off to a flying start. Please be reassured that all the strict safety measures such as hand hygiene and separate playtimes are still in place and will remain in place this term and until further government instruction. Our safety precautions were successful from 1st June when we welcomed year groups back into school – we did not get any Covid 19 cases and had 200 pupils in school and all the staff. Below are the entrances and exits for each year group. There is a flexible start from 8.30-9.00 and finish from 3.15-3.30pm to avoid congestion. One parent only please to drop off. Children come straight into school and do not wait in the playground when they arrive. (Those in school from 1st June will know the procedure already) These details were sent at the end of last term (remember your child will have moved up a year group) and are repeated below:
