Annual Parent/ Carer Survey Autumn 2020

We would appreciate your views to help plan the rest of this year, so we can continue to improve further. Please complete and return the survey via your child’s communication book by Thursday 22nd October. For each question, please tick the score from 1 (not very happy) to 5 (very happy) and add any comments you would like (comments are not essential, but can be most useful). We will then include the survey’s findings in future planning.

All returned surveys will be entered into a prize draw to win one of three £50 ASDA vouchers.

 

Safety on our site

Dear Parents/Carers,

 

We are continually trying to ensure we have a safe site for everyone.

 

We rely on parents to socially distance themselves and need you to ensure this happens please. We also ask that parents limit the number of people coming onto site. We have noticed that more than one adult is often coming to drop off or collect and also that secondary pupils are joining parents in this task. Please limit the number to one person unless absolutely necessary.

 

Recently we have had to put a yellow box outside of the back classroom doors. This box must not be entered by any parents please.

 

Staff will ask you to step back if this is the case.

 

We also ask that parents continue to use the home school communication books, call the office or leave messages with Mrs Powell and Mrs Huda if necessary.

 

Parents are not allowed into classrooms or into the main school via the main office.

 

Thank you for your continued patience and understanding at this time.

Year 6 Self Isolation Learning

If your child is self-isolating due to a family member displaying symptoms, please visit your child’s class page for ideas to support your child at home with their learning. The document will be located in the resources section on each year groups’ page of the website.

Year 6 self isolation learning

Please note that if your child is self-isolating because they are displaying symptoms, we wouldn’t expect them to complete the tasks if they are feeling unwell.

Many thanks

Information check sheets

Dear Parents/carers

We will be sending home check sheets with children in Years 1-6 to make sure that the information that we hold on our system is up to date. Please ensure that you check through, make any amendments and then sign and return to your child’s class teacher even if there are no changes to be made.

Many thanks

Covid 19 update

Dear Parents/Carers,

https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/guidance-to-parents-and-guardians-when-you-should-book-a-coronavirus-test-for-your-child/letter-to-parents-and-guardians-when-you-should-book-a-coronavirus-test-for-your-child

 

We have sent this document out before, but wanted to make sure it reached everyone. We are trying so hard to prevent any positive cases in our school, but we need your help…

Please follow all of the guidelines and in particular –

  • Making sure you are not sending your child/children into school if they are unwell.
  • Making sure they wash their hands before coming in to school and on arrival home.
  • Ensuring your children and you yourselves are socially distancing at the key times of drop off and pick up.

 

Clearly we can not control what goes on out of school, but ask that everyone does ‘their bit’ in trying to keep the virus out of our community and therefore lowering the risk of it getting into our school.

 

Thank you for your continued support.
