PODS Befriending Scheme is a network of trained parent volunteers who support other parents of children with special needs at the time of diagnosis or during challenging times related to their child’s disability. Every Befriender is someone whose own child has special needs.  They know what it is like to cope with a new diagnosis and the challenges that come with it in the future.  This service is free and confidential. We support parents of children with any type of disability or special need.

Are you the Parent Carer of a child or young person with a special need or disability?

September update

14.7.21

Dear Parents/Carers,

We have now received headline changes to COVID-19 guidance, from the Department for Education.

Clearly there is a lot of uncertainty and time to pass before we return in September, so I plan on confirming our procedures a week or so before we return. What we do know is what will remain…

WHAT NEEDS TO STAY
  • An updated risk assessment that we will regularly review.
  • Remote learning offer for those who are self-isolating and well enough to learn.
  • Good hygiene and regular hand washing – the ‘catch it, bin it, kill it’ approach continues to be very important.
  • Regular cleaning of areas and equipment.
  • Keeping occupied spaces well ventilated – while maintaining a comfortable temperature.
  • Following public health advice on testing, self-isolation and managing confirmed cases of COVID-19.
  • Those who test positive with LFD should isolate and get a PCR test.
·         Staff undertaking twice weekly home tests beginning the week before we return to school

 

 

WHAT HAS CHANGED according to the Department for education
  • Bubbles no longer necessary.
 Our school views:

We are not comfortable with stating that all of the recommended changes will happen and are reserving our final confirmed plan until a week or so before we come back in September. We aim to carefully monitor the national and local picture and make informed decisions based on the evidence.

  • Assemblies can resume.
  • No longer required to make alternative arrangements to avoid mixing at lunch.
  • Contract tracing will be conducted by NHS Test and Trace and not settings.
  • From 16 August 2021, children under the age of 18 years old will no longer be required to self-isolate if test positive as a close contact but will be advised to take a PCR test.
  • Face coverings not advised for pupils, staff and visitors – either in classrooms or in communal areas including on dedicated school and public transport.
  • Most staff in schools will not require PPE beyond what they would normally need for their work.
  • Settings to create outbreak management plans.
·         It will not be necessary to stagger start and finish times for schools and colleges

 

Kind regards,

Party days

Are you ready to party? The nursery end of year party days will take place on Thursday 15th July and Friday 16th July. We are very excited to have a special visitor on the afternoon of the 15th. An ice cream van will be available for children to go up and order their own ice creams. If you would like your child to receive an ice cream please send in £1 on the day (only children attending in Thursday afternoon). We would also invite everyone to dress in party clothes if they usually attend on the 15th or 16th. We will provide food, drink, dancing and games. Thank you for all your support this year from all the nursery team.

8.7.21 Fidget toys and slime

Dear Parent/Carers,

 

Please can you support us in making sure your children are not smuggling fidget toys and slime into school (The image below is just one class collection from this week!).

We are not kill joys, we simply have not got the time to be dealing with the squabbles that come with them! We supply lots of equipment for the children to use at playtimes and are in the middle of developing a giant school fidget toy box for the children to enjoy.
