They are knocking the flats down on Monday!

THEY WILL NOT DO IT WHILE KIDS ARRIVING AND GOING. But need to make you aware as the road will be shut.

Dear Parents and Carers,

I wanted to share with you how proud I am of every child and teacher in the school. I have just been around the school, socially distanced, and I have been greeted by smiles and learning everywhere I have gone- even with our year 6s learning equivalent fractions! Thank you for trusting us with your children, and I can assure you the atmosphere in school today is amazing. I am so proud.

Make sure you go onto SeeSaw to see the work for yourself and share some likes.

Thank you,

Mr Fox

I will be doing an assembly about the issues around TIkTok on Friday. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/av/technology-54777076 and the longer video on iPlayer.

The government continues to prioritise the wellbeing and long-term futures of our children and young people and will not be closing early years settings, schools, further education (FE) colleges or universities. It remains very important for children and young people to attend, to support their wellbeing and education and help working parents and guardians. Senior clinicians still advise that school is the best place for children to be, and so they should continue to go to school. Schools have implemented a range of protective measures to make them safe.

Childcare or education is one of the exceptions that children, young people and parents and carers can leave their home for.

We will see you tomorrow.

Despite the national Lockdown Tomorrow, school will be open.

We are still waiting for further guidance, however a few things remain clear:

When dropping off and collecting: Please spread out and stand two meters apart.

Telford and Wrekin is also promoting the wearing of masks when dropping off and collecting. Please support us with this.

Please stand back when children need to walk past.

If you or anyone in you family develops symptoms then you must remain at home and get a test.

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.

Please keep Safe over half term.

Week 8 Half Term.pdf

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
