Update regarding entry point near Reception

Please note that the gate adjacent to the Reception classrooms will no longer be used as an exit or entry point onto the school site at the start of the day and at home time. If you usually enter or exit through this point, then please use the gate a little further along (via the quiet area, past the carved Bear) instead. This is to ensure that the equipment in the Reception classroom outside area remains set up and accessed by Reception children only. This will take effect as of Thursday morning.

Thank you for your support.

Year 4 PE Days – Spring 1

Hello all,

We hope you are all beginning to feel very Christmassy in this wintery weather. Just a quick update regarding our PE days in the Spring term. When we return to school in January, Year 4 PE days will be:

Tuesday – Indoor (Gymnastics)

Wednesday – Outdoor (Athletics).

Please ensure pupils come to school on PE days, dressed in the appropriate, school PE kit. (Please note, we return to school on a Wednesday so outdoor PE kit should be worn on the first day back).

Many thanks,

Year 4 Team :)

Scarlet Fever Information (based on advice from the Health Protection Hub) December 2022

5.12.22

Dear Parents/Carers,

You may have heard the sobering news of a six-year old child dying after contracting a Group A Streptococcus (GAS) infection in an outbreak in a school in Surrey.  The common childhood illness scarlet fever is caused by this bacteria and in the vast majority of cases is a mild illness, but can sometimes be more severe.

Signs and symptoms of scarlet fever

The early symptoms of scarlet fever include sore throat, headache, fever, nausea and vomiting. After 12 to 48 hours the characteristic red, pinhead rash develops, typically first appearing on the chest and stomach, then rapidly spreading to other parts of the body, and giving the skin a sandpaper-like texture. The scarlet rash may be harder to spot on darker skin, although the ‘sandpaper’ feel should be present. Patients typically have flushed cheeks and pallor around the mouth. This may be accompanied by a ‘strawberry tongue’. As the child improves peeling of the skin can occur.

If you suspect your child could have Scarlet Fever please

  • Seek advice from their general practitioner.
  • Keep your child off school and seek advice from the doctor as to how long your child should be off.
  • Inform school of any diagnosis and absence.

What we are already doing:

  • Encouraging children and staff to implement good hand hygiene
  • Encouraging staff, children to implement good respiratory hygiene
  • Children and staff are reminded that all scrapes or wounds, especially bites, should be thoroughly cleaned and covered.
  • Maintaining good ventilation in the setting.
  • Carrying out enhanced cleaning, to help reduce transmission.

If you suspect your child has Scarlet Fever, it is important that you let school know as soon as you can. This early notification would support us in taking any necessary precautions to avoid further  spread.

Regards,

Miss Cook

Year 3 & 4 Christmas Performance – 7th December

If you are attending the Year 3 & 4 Christmas Performance on 7th December and you have younger children accompanying you, please try to arrange childcare if at all possible as we do not have a creche on site.

 If this will not be possible, please can we ask that you seat yourself at the very back of the hall so that you are able to make a quick, easy exit if your younger children become noisy or unsettled.

 Many thanks in advance.
