Ketley Community Centre are offering FREE Breakfast Parcels for children in receipt of free school meals who live with the Ketley or Overdale parish.

These will be handed out between Thursday 16th July – Thursday 20th Aug 2020 as part of Ketley Parish & Telford & Wrekin councils campaign to end holiday hunger.

These weekly parcels are for children in school years, aged 5-11yrs who are entitled to free school meals, and will be available for collection every Thursday between 10am-1pm over the summer holidays.

Parents need to register every week via the link:

https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/ketley-breakfast-club-tickets-111796771152

Breakfast parcel = 1 per child

Please note that the ticket relates to the collection date, not how many children they are collecting for, this information is collected within the registration form.

We are aware that a number of other groups within Telford are also offering the same offer, but as funding is very limited and kind donations from other sources are also limited we ask that parents that already receiving these elsewhere, do not look source additional parcels.

Breakfast parcels may vary each week and may contain: Bread, Milk, Cereal, Fruit, Jam, Beans, Juice & Porridge, we will also look to include additional non breakfast items to help support further meals.

Kind regards

Dear Parents/Carers,

The children we have in school continue to tell us and show us that they are enjoying being back into school routines.

We are full in all year groups which is why teachers are continuing to work hard on our ‘Home Learning’ offer for those children who are not here.

As you will now know, we have managed to organise Crossbar for weeks 2 – 5 (inclusive) over the summer: please refer to our website. We do not normally do this and it is purely to support children and working parents during this tricky time.

The government has issued a lot of new notifications recently about easing lockdown measures. We are fully aware that this easing could in fact increase our risks in school. Please be assured that we are not easing any of our measures, and we ask you to be mindful of the need to continue with hygiene measures:

• strict routines around handwashing before sending your children to school
• very regular changes of clothes
• thorough sanitising of drinks bottles every night

It is very important that you do not send your child in if they are ill, and that you ensure you inform us immediately. The NHS website is full of very useful information around what you need to do should anyone in your household begin displaying symptoms.

We are happy to advise, but please remember we are not medics and will really only be able to signpost you to other professionals.

Thank you for your continued support.

Miss Cook

Headteacher
