27.9.21 Forgotten kit

 

Dear Parents/Carers,

 

We know it is early days and that children and parents are trying to get used to the new timetables.

 

Please could you double check on your child’s class website page, so that you are sure as to the correct kit needed on the correct day.

 

This would really help the office team, as they do seem to be spending a lot of time dropping off kit to differing classes at the moment.

 

Many thanks,

 

Miss Cook

Update 21.9.21

Dear Parents/Carers,

 

I hope you are enjoying this late in the season sunshine. I know the children are loving being outside and many are making great use of our new sports facilities!

 

In comparison to many schools we are coping well, by way of the number of positive cases we have. That said, we are definitely seeing an increase.

 

It is so important that you do not send your children into school if they are displaying any symptoms, including any of the precautionary symptoms listed by Telford and Wrekin Council. (Please see the following link Do you have main COVID-19 symptoms or other symptoms? – Do you have main COVID-19 symptoms or other symptoms? – Telford & Wrekin Council ) You need to keep them at home and get them PCR tested before risking a spread of the infection in school please.

 

If your child tests positive you need to make sure you inform the school as we also have to inform the health hub.  This is so that we can plan what actions to take in school.

 

We really do need to work together on this to prevent us having to reintroduce some of the more rigid procedures again.

 

Kind regards and fingers crossed,

New house names

Now we are all back to school, we have decided to have a look at the house system that we have in place. Mrs Clarke and Mrs Everall do a fantastic job of assigning the children into each of the houses and making sure that all the house points that are awarded are counted up.

We are delighted to share with you that we have decided to help our children to know more about where we live and so, our houses have new names. The colours will remain the same but the new names are –

Severn (This was the Phoenix and will remain red)

Ironbridge (This was Dragon and will remain green)

Wenlock (This was Griffin and will remain yellow)

Wrekin (This was Unicorn and will remain blue)

We know it will take a little while to get used to the names, but we are hoping that by sports day, we will all have had enough practice to cheer on the correct team names!

A reminder for parents/carers, the entrance to school off the Rock Road through our electronic gates is for STAFF only and is not to be used as a route into school to drop children off. There is also no pedestrian access allowed through this gate. Thank you for your co-operation.

Bike to School Week 2021 27th September and 1st October

Bike to school week is taking place between 27th September and the 1st October 2021.

It’s a great opportunity to celebrate cycling and scooting and the positive impact it has on children’s health and wellbeing as well as the environment.

We are very lucky to have bike sheds here at school and would like to encourage as many families as we can to bike or scoot to school that week. It is hoped that by biking to school, pupils will think about their journeys to school, understand the benefits of active travel, and consider the causes and effects of air pollution. 

Happy cycling!

Harvest Festival

Harvest time is nearly upon us and as we have done in previous years, this year we will be collecting food items for Telford Crisis Support. The charity will be coming into school to see us in assembly on Monday 27th September to explain the work that they do. Following this, we would appreciate it if you were able to spare and send into school any food items (tinned or packaged and in date please) that you do not require. Please can children take the items to their classrooms and teachers will gather them together. The charity will collect the donations the following week on Monday 4th October. Thank you in advance for you help.
