Closure of Year 3 classes
Mon 29 Nov 2021Unfortunately, due to an increasing level of staff absence due to sickness, I have made the extremely difficult decision to close the year 3 classes. Pupils in Browne and Blyton classes are therefore being asked to stay away from school for the next 48 hours, returning on Thursday 2nd December when staff will be returning from their Covid-19 isolation period.
Work will be sent home with the children to complete whilst they are not at school.
I appreciate and regret the inconvenience this may cause and hope that you understand that this decision has not been made lightly.
Yours sincerely

Confirmed positive cases of Covid-19 in the school setting
Wed 24 Nov 2021Dear Parents / Carers
We have been advised by Public Health England that there has been a number of confirmed cases of COVID-19 within the school setting.
We know that you may find this concerning but we are continuing to monitor the situation and are working closely with Public Health England. This communication is to inform you of the current situation and provide advice on how to support your child. Please be reassured that for most people, coronavirus (COVID-19) will be a mild illness.
The school setting remains open and your child should continue to attend as normal if they remain well.
Unless your child is showing symptoms there is no need for them to be absent from school, however, it has been suggested that they should take a PCR test if they have been in close contact with an individual that has tested positive. Positive cases have been found in the following classes: -
- Butterworth Class ( year 2)
- Blyton Class (year 3)
- Browne Class (year 3)
- Baddiel Class (year 4)
- Sachar Class (year 5)
- Tsang Class (year 5)
You can obtain a PCR test via Get a free PCR test to check if you have coronavirus (COVID-19) - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk) or by calling 119.
When ordering a PCR test it is important to check the box (online) or tell 119 ‘I’ve been told to get a test by my health protection team’ and not ‘I’ve been told to get a test by my school or nursery’. Further guidance can be found at Guidance for contacts of people with confirmed coronavirus (COVID-19) infection who do not live with the person - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk)
The school are currently reviewing it's current Covid-19 control measures with the local Health Protection Team and will share any changes with parents in due course.
Thank you.

COVID-19 UPDATE for parents
Sun 21 Nov 2021COVID-19 UPDATE: Because of an increase in the number of positive cases reported in both our local and school community, there are a couple of contingency measures that the school are putting into place immediately to reduce the risk of transmission: -
* Staff will return to wearing face-masks in public areas, including at the start and end of each day when meeting with parents.
* Parents will be asked to wear face-masks if they enter the school building - including the Reception area.
Staff will continue to ensure that across the school there are high levels of good hand hygiene, with children, staff and any visitors washing and/or using alcohol gel when the enter or leave the school building. They will also ensure that any working areas are well ventilated at all times.
Parents are asked to ensure that if children show any symptoms of Covid-19 they do not come to school and arrange to be tested.
We thank you for your ongoing support and will keep you updated of any further updates.
