Headlice in school

Dear Parents/Carers,

We need to inform you that we have reported cases of Headlice in school, particularly in Year 3. If members of the team spot either live lice or eggs they will inform you so that treatment can begin immediately to avoid them spreading across to other children.

It is really important that you treat your children and continue to check for re-infestations. We know that it is only special treatment, tying hair back and time spent combing that will help. For more information, please see the following guideline from the NHS website.

https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/head-lice-and-nits/ There are pictures to help you to identify what nits look like and great advice to help you to treat your child.

We do have a small collection of nit combs that we are happy to let parents have free of charge and we are happy to supply you with the number for the school nursing team should you wish to talk to them directly. Please ask Mrs Powell or Mrs Huda about either of these offers.

Update for Miss Broadhurst’s class

17.6.21

Dear Parents/Carers of Miss Broadhurst’s class,

We have just been informed of another positive case in this class. The symptoms being a cough and a sore throat.

It is clear that this particular virus strain is highly transmissible. Luckily our ‘bubble’ system has contained it to just this class, but we are asking you to stick rigidly to the isolation rules which we are sure you are. The only time you are permitted to leave the house is to get a test.

If you are unsure as to what to do should your child begin to show symptoms, this information should be useful – https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/coronavirus-covid-19/self-isolation-and-treatment/if-youre-told-to-self-isolate-by-nhs-test-and-trace-or-the-covid-19-app/

Fingers crossed no one else becomes ill.

Take care

Miss Cook

Exciting news

Dear Parents and Carers,

We have some exciting news to share with you. Towards the end of term and over the Summer holiday, work will be completed at school to significantly improve our outside areas. Currently, the field is unusable for most of the year as it remains waterlogged, and we really want our children to be able to use it more frequently. An artificial surface (astroturf) is being laid on a section of the field to enable our children to use it all year around. We are also re-surfacing one side of the top playground and putting in another artificial surface in the fenced part of the top playground. This will make our playground area second to none when looking at sporting fixtures and will also mean it can be used all year round by more children. In addition, we will be opening up a big chunk of our Forest School area for general playtime usage, so that children can spread out more freely.

With work of this kind, there will be a significant amount of disruption. No one will be allowed outside near the building works throughout the entire summer. Unfortunately this does mean that we are unable to offer any holiday club provision. We have explored the possibility of our own staff running some indoor provision, but as we need a minimum of two staff on site at any time, we cannot make this work: staff have other commitments and are looking forward to their own break after a very difficult year. We are still exploring alternative indoor sports provision. I know it is difficult for parents who work all year round to manage child care and so we will do our best to signpost you to other options.

Kind regards, Miss Cook

Defibrillator at school

Dear Parents/Carers

Following the recent events involving Christian Erikson at the Euros we wanted to remind everyone that there is a defibrillator on the school site, situated in the office. It is available to be used by anyone in an emergency during school opening times and has been registered with the ambulance service to this effect.

Thank you

Sports Day

Parental attendance

We have made enquiries with the Health Protection Hub regarding the possibility of having parents attend our sports day events. Everyone is waiting to see what the Government decide to do with the June 21^st possible easing announcement. The figures across the country are rising slightly and this is reflected in Telford.

We do not want parents to book time off work, only to find parents are not permitted to attend. We also understand that it would be unfair for both children and parents if we make a last minute announcement. Some parents would then be unable to rearrange work to suit at short notice, and then children would feel upset that other parents were there but not their own.

As a result of the uncertainty with lockdown, the complexities around parents getting time off work and the rising virus figures we have made the difficult decision to say that for this year, parents will not be permitted on site to watch. What we can guarantee is that the children will partake in sports day and have a lovely time and we will of course be posting lots of photos of them enjoying themselves. I know a lot of parents will be disappointed in this decision, but ultimately we need to go with what is safe.
