Dear Parents/Carers,
We are continually trying to ensure we have a safe site for everyone.
We rely on parents to socially distance themselves and need you to ensure this happens please. We also ask that parents limit the number of people coming onto site. We have noticed that more than one adult is often coming to drop off or collect and also that secondary pupils are joining parents in this task. Please limit the number to one person unless absolutely necessary.
Recently we have had to put a yellow box outside of the back classroom doors. This box must not be entered by any parents please.
Staff will ask you to step back if this is the case.
We also ask that parents continue to use the home school communication books, call the office or leave messages with Mrs Powell and Mrs Huda if necessary.
Parents are not allowed into classrooms or into the main school via the main office.
Thank you for your continued patience and understanding at this time.
Miss Cook
Headteacher

Dear Parents and Carers,
Due to the current Covid 19 restrictions we are sadly unable to host our termly SEND parent and carer ‘drop in’ sessions. Usually Parents and Carers are invited to come to The Den to speak to Miss Plimmer (our SENDCO) and Mrs Powell (Inclusion Manager) about their child’s needs and progress.
This term we are proposing that following your Parents Evening telephone call with class teachers in the coming weeks, you can request a telephone call from Miss Plimmer and Mrs Powell to talk specifically about SEND needs.
To request a phone call between 3pm-4pm or 4:30pm-5:30pm on Thursday 22nd October, please send an email requesting a time slot to Miss Plimmer’s SEND email address: newdalesendco@taw.org.uk or ring the office and ask them to pass on the message 01952 387720.
Kind regards,
Miss Plimmer
Following on from Miss Cook’s announcement regarding PE kits, please can you ensure that children are wearing the correct PE kit in school. This should be a white tshirt and dark tracksuit bottoms/shorts. Please note that football shirts and skorts are not allowed. Thank you for your continuous support.
Dear Parents/Carers,
As you know, we constantly review our policy/procedure and change our practice accordingly.
We are struggling to find ‘bubble’ space for all of the different year groups to get changed for sports after school clubs, especially as we need to provide separate space for boys and girls in the older year groups.
As a result of this, we are going to ask that from tomorrow that children in Year 3, 4, 5 and 6 that have a sports club after school, come to school in their school PE kit. We can manage Year 1 and 2 children changing and therefore there is no need to alter anything for them.
The only item that will be permitted is a change of foot wear for eg. Football boots.
We understand that children like to wear ‘football strip’ type clothes for many of the clubs, but ask that they stick to the normal school PE kit please.
This new rule will not affect the gymnastics club and we ask that those children bring in their change of clothes as they normally do.
We are working so hard at trying to keep our ‘bubbles of children’ separate and we think this new rule will allow an increase in safety, but also more time for the children to enjoy the activity in the club.
As ever, thank you for your support and patience as we continue to do all we can to keep Covid 19 away from our school community.
