We have had a number of queries about speaking to children at home about online safety. This is a very good site to use.

Good morning, as the weather gets colder the temperature guns are less effective outside. Therefore, we will slightly update our procedures:

Controls:

1. Parents/carers need to check wellness of child before school
2. Children will still be met at gate, gel hands and let in in class groups. They will was hands when after they sit down. We will also carry out visual assessments for general wellness.
3. When in class and before 15min limit all children will have temps taken, and actions taken. (15 minutes is the limit of contact time, if children are identified before this time, and actions taken, it has less of an impact on the school)
4. If hot with the gun, an in ear temp will be taken and further actions taken.

The biggest and most important control is still you checking your child before school. There is no legal recommendation for us to check temps, it is something we do to keep our community safe.

If a child does develop symptoms, you will be asked to take them for a test and if positive, the Health Protection Hub make recommendations, including closing bubbles. They use a 48 hour window to ascertain contacts.

Thank you for your support,

Mr Fox and TEAM Donnington.

Dear parents and carers,

Children in Need/ Free to be me

Each year, to express the values of compassion and justice, we try and support the ‘Children in Need’ campaign. This year we are holding a ‘Free to be Me’ own clothes day on Friday 13th November to support the charity.

Children are invited to attend school wearing their own clothes expressing who they really are as a person. You may have a football crazy child, one who likes to dress up in fancy dress, or a child who loves to wear as many colours as possible at once! They can really wear whatever they like on that day.

All we ask is, if you’re able to, to make a donation of £1 to the Children In Need fundraising campaign. (To avoid handling risks, children will place their contributions in a class pot which will be left in school until the following week to total up.)

We look forward to seeing how the children choose to express themselves.

Many thanks for your support,
