Newsletter – January Week two

Dear Parents / Carers,
Year 6 Residential
The children have had a super time at Standon Bowers this week. They have all taken part in the activities, even the ones they were a bit or a lot worried about. They have shown fantastic examples of teamwork, resilience, support, care and so much enthusiasm.
It’s been lovely to see them out of their usual environment and having so much fun. Some children have conquered their fears of caves and dark spaces, heights and abseiling, some children have found that they can solve problems using group ideas rather than just their own. There has been so much laughter, which is just so good to hear.
And the night times – they have slept so well. The staff can’t believe how well they have all slept – especially the boys.
Well done to the children for going out of their comfort zones and trying something new.
Thank you to Mrs Sharman, Ms Master and Mrs Shaw for organising and spending the time with the children and being away from your own families. We all appreciate this dedication from you.
Thank you to the parents for helping to get everything ready for your children. I hope you all had a lovely week and didn’t worry too much.
Free School Meals
As job circumstances change, there may be some parents who need financial support. You can check on this link to see if your child is eligible for free school meals. If they are, the school will also get extra funding for your child to support them with their education. If you need any help at all with this, please contact myself or Mrs Dean.
Thursday’s parking on Abbots Way
Just a reminder that there is a coach that needs to get to the school at home time on Thursdays with the Year 3 swimmers on. Please can I ask that you park so that there is room for the coach to travel along the road. Thank you.
Self Isolation
The table below shows when to start testing for a 7 day isolation as per Government guidelines. On Monday 17th January the new 5 day isolation starts with individuals who have negative LFT test results on days 5 and 6 to emerge from isolation on Day 6.
