School open

| donningtonwood

The school is open tomorrow and we will welcome you all back as usual. However, as you would have seen there are a few immediate changes:
Tier 2: https://www.telford.gov.uk/tier2?utm_content=&utm_medium=email&utm_name=&utm_source=govdelivery&utm_term= please read the link, but be even more mindful of separating out at the gate.
Road: the proposals for the road closure will come out this week, I will share this with you so support it.

Positive cases: I have been in contact with the health protection hub this week and so far there are no cases that impact the school, however this may change and I might still have to shut bubbles at late notice.

Finally: national lockdown Thursday onwards.
At the time of writing we have absolutely no information about this other than what you would have read or seen. It is intended that all school stay open, and I welcome this direction, however, we will wait for proper guidance to ensure we keep everyone safe as we can. I will update you throughout the week, when we have the information but I am sure it will lead to changes. As always we will act in a way that keeps the safety of our community first.

See you in the morning.

Dear Parents/Carers,

This half term, parent codes went out inviting you to log into our new learning platform ‘Seesaw’, where you are able to view and celebrate your child’s work. After just a short time, it is fantastic to see so many of you leaving comments or ‘likes’ and giving them the recognition they deserve for their efforts.

Please, please keep doing so – it is making such a difference to them!

If you have not logged in already, please do. This is really easy to do and leaves such a powerful message to your children. They have loved receiving ‘likes’ on their work and this has motivated and encouraged them to work even harder.

If you have any questions, or struggle to access, please do not hesitate to call and we will endeavour to do our best to support you.

Thank you, as always, for your continued support.

Mrs Poyner

Assistant Headteacher/Seesaw lead

Positive Covid Test Year 3O

| donningtonwood

Good Morning All,

Today we have had our first positive test. The class 3O and teachers (anyone who has been in close contact) have been sent home immediately to isolate until the 20th October in line with government advice. Siblings and family members can continue their usually daily routine, unless they have any symptoms (see letter).

Year 3 is cut off from other year groups and the Year 3 pupils themselves split between 3O and 3P, with separate toilets etc, but will still have a deep clean as part of our procedures.

We have contacted and informed every parent in the class and have worked with the Health Protection Hub.

Work will be on seesaw and we will contact you most days to support your child in their work.

As per usual- if you have any symptoms please stay at home. Please keep 2m apart from each other.

Thank you for all your support,

Please keep safe.

Mr Fox
