18.1.21 Online Learning Offer Survey
Dear Parents and Carers,
We hope that you all continue to stay safe and well.
The best way for your children to continue making super progress during this difficult time is for them to access our very carefully planned Online Learning Offer. These sessions are as they would be if your child were in school and in fact are the same offer as the ‘critical worker’ children we have in school. Paper packs are a last resort and we discourage this if there is any way you can gain online access for your child. (Call us if you need help).
For those of you whose children are accessing learning at home, we are keen to gather your thoughts as to the provision that we are offering.
Please could you follow this link https://forms.office.com/Pages/ResponsePage.aspx?id=2s8TOK9SpUy44yMVeXcKujfWR1zrUJ1JhQgacqv0-RBUQUcwTEc3ODlOMlhIMjEyRVVUTVFaVUwzTS4u and respond to this by Friday 22nd January at 3pm.
Every response will be read and used to further improve our offer if needed. Feedback will also be passed onto staff and governors, who I hope you will agree are working so hard to keep your child’s progress as the priority.
Kind regards
Mrs Bishton
Update 18.1.21
Dear Parent/Carer,
Like everyone, we are hopeful that the end is now in sight with the rapid roll out of the Coronavirus vaccine.
Over the weekend we were however informed of two positive cases of children, one in Year 6 and one in our Nursery provision.
Unfortunately, we have had to put a number of children and adults into isolation in Year 6 and the same for Nursery. Clearly the ‘track and trace’ method of detection is so difficult when the children are so young in Nursery and hence the impact of this has been much wider.
We want to reassure you that we continue to strictly follow all guidance as far as prevention of spread of the virus is concerned in school and nursery. It is so important that you also follow the national guidance at home. Please keep a very careful eye on your children and do not send them to school if they are unwell. Unfortunately Coronavirus in children can very often result in there being zero symptoms, which of course makes it very difficult to detect.
As a resident of Telford and Wrekin, you are allowed to access regular testing. We know that lots of families are doing this, which really does help us keep a grip on the virus transmission. If you can please follow this link and look to book tests as regular as you can –
https://rapidtest.telford.gov.uk
We are delighted with our online learning offer and hope you can spare a few minutes later today filling in the parent survey so that we can see clearly see what is working well and areas that we need to tweak.
Paper packs of work are an absolute last resort and no where near as beneficial to your children as the online lessons. We have been trying so hard to support all families in gaining online access. If you still are struggling please do ring the office and we will do all we can to get you up and running.
Thank you for your continued support.

Remote Education Information to Parents
The information link below is intended to provide clarity and transparency to pupils and parents or carers about what to expect from remote education where national or local restrictions require entire cohorts (or bubbles) to remain at home. You can also view the document on the website in the section called ‘Parent guides’.
New critical worker/vulnerable child form – Monday 18th – Friday 22nd January
Please complete the form below if your child is eligible for a school place during the current school closure. All applications will be reviewed and considered once the form has closed at 9.00am on Thursday 14th January.
Please note that the filling in of this form does not guarantee you a place.
A member of school staff will contact you Friday afternoon to inform you if we can safely offer your child/ren a place. If we are unable to, we will support you in directing you to the remote learning offer we have in place.
All school staff would like to thank you for your unwavering support in these testing times.
Update 12.01.2021
Dear Parents/Carers,
We are receiving some very positive comments about our online learning offer. This is great as teachers really are trying very hard to ensure the offer will ensure as much progress as possible. Mrs Bishton will soon be sending out a brief survey to allow us to collect responses to share with outside agencies.
It is important to note that the children in school receive exactly the same offer as those at home. There is no benefit educationally, in sending your children into school and in fact only an increased level of risk as far as the virus is concerned.
The message continues to be: keep your children at home if you can. It is only ‘critical’ workers who literally have no other choice that we are considering applications for.
We have been informed that we are to be allocated some additional laptops to support our home learning offer. If you really are struggling to access online learning and are currently relying on paper packs, then contact the school and we will see what we can do to help.
As you know the data is showing alarming increases in virus transmissions across Telford. We continue to do all we can in school to keep everyone safe, including regular testing of all of our staff. We ask that you continue to join us in this battle and importantly do not send your children into school unless you have to or if they are displaying any signs of illness.
At the moment we are lucky to have healthy staff to ensure high quality education throughout. If we have cases, this limits this offer and affects us all.
The new survey to fill out for a child school place for next week is due to be sent out tomorrow (Wednesday 13th January), with a deadline of 9am on Thursday 14th January. Please remember, that if you do require a place, we require the form so that we have enough time to verify status and shift patterns.
Thank you for your continued support.
