Pantomime – Year 5 & Year 6

Year 5 and Year 6 are going to the pantomime on Friday 17th December to watch Aladdin.  Due to the children returning after lunchtime we are asking if all children in Year 5 and Year 6 can bring in a packed lunch from home on that day.

If your child is eligible for a free school meal this will be provided by school.  Class teachers will ask your child their choice of sandwich, unfortunately we are unable to offer a hot lunch.

Thank you

Covid update 25th November 2021

Dear Parents/Carers,

As you can see from the table below, Telford and Wrekin are still struggling with incredibly high rates of Covid.

We are doing all we can in school to prevent the spread of the virus and we really appreciate the support we are getting from parents.

Some parents are getting frustrated when school staff call in order for them to collect their child. This may be because our staff team have spotted symptoms, or if indeed the child tells us they are unwell.

We know it is really hard to find immediate childcare, but we also hope all parents can see that we are only doing this in the hope we prevent further outbreaks across the school community.

We have everything crossed in the hope that all families and staff are not needing to self-isolate over the Christmas period and we will continue to work hard with this goal in mind.

As ever, thank you again for your continued support.

Miss Cook

Covid request – 17th November 2021

If there is someone in your household that has a positive test result, we really need to know about it straight away please. Our staff team very often carryout one-to-one learning sessions with children in their class. These sessions do involve them being in close contact. If they knew there was a positive case in the household, they would increase the prevention of spread measures e.g. by wearing a mask for this session. We had this situation last week and the teacher only found out about the positive case, after the one-to-one session. As you can imagine this can cause unnecessary stress to staff members and can increase the risk of impacting our ability to keep classes operational. Please let us know as soon as you know. Many thanks.

 

Community Grocery Store All Nations

A community grocery store has opened at the All Nations Church, Holyhead Road, Ketley (opposite Farm Foods).  This is a fantastic new store where members can shop for a fraction of the cost of a supermarket. 

Miss Cook went along on the opening day to see what they have on offer……

‘The quality of the items on sale is great. It is well worth a visit and I really do hope this local facility will make a significant difference to many of our families.’

To find out more, visit the store and speak to one of the friendly team. They will ask you to complete a simple form and to pay your annual £5 membership which allows you two weekly high quality shops for just £3 each!

The community store also offers so much more than just food. There is a range of free support including job clubs, money management support, healthy living classes to name just a few.

The Community Grocery is being run by the national award-winning charity, The Message Trust in partnership with local churches.
