Positive Covid Test Year 3O
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

Week 5 Update
Lots of information this week, thank you for you support.

Street Works Traffic manager
I have had a great meeting with the Highways Engineer tonight. They will be sending the traffic enforcement officer over the next two weeks. They will also be providing us with extra cones to cut of the corners. Long term: They are drawing up plans to put extra double yellow lines, traffic restrictions and possible resident only parking.
We are working with Morris (the housing contractors) to also look at plans to close the cul de sac off when work starts.
Thank you to the vast majority who park at bottom and walk up. I will be out tomorrow again to ask others to walk up.
Mr Fox
Closing the Road
St Leonard’s Close: I am trying (Again) to get the road shut during certain times to keep us safer. Please keep parking at bottom and walk up.
2 cars area allowed on site for safety reasons.
I will update you when they get back to me.

Covid Restriction Updates
There have been a raft of updates recently and I wanted to share.
Please ensure you are a safe distance outside of school, not attending gatherings of more than 6 and sticking to the rules. We have very good controls in school, but this relies on working with you all.
Please stay safe; Please help us stay safe.
Any rule breaking can be reported on 101. If invited to parties, that you know have more than 6- you should report this.
Under the new measures for England:
§ Office workers are being told to work from home again if possible
§ Penalties for not wearing a mask or gathering in groups of more than six will increase to £200 on the first offence
§ From Thursday 24 September, all pubs, bars and restaurants will be restricted to table service only. Takeaways can continue
§ Also from Thursday, hospitality venues must close at 22:00 – which means shutting then, not calling for last orders (in Scotland the same curfew rule comes into force on Friday)
§ Face coverings must be worn by taxi drivers and passengers from Wednesday
§ Retail staff and customers in indoor hospitality venues will also have to wear masks from Thursday, except when seated at a table to eat or drink
§ From Monday 28 September, only 15 people will be able to attend weddings and civil partnerships, in groups of six. Funerals can still take place with up to 30 people
§ Also from 28 September, you can only play indoor adult sports in groups of less than six
