Letter to Parents - update on 19th June 2020

Dear Parents, As we complete our third week with children returning to those designated classes, it is wonderful to hear the sound of children again around school. The numbers have remained constant, but we have had a few additions as the weeks have progressed. The numbers from this week have been: Year 6:  5 Year 1 St John Bosco: 11 Year 1 St David’s:  11 EYFS St Francis:  11 EYFS St Bernadette:  15 Key Worker Children:  12 SEN children:  2 Like many schools around the country, we are all waiting to hear what the Government’s plans are for schools from September. Once we hear what the requirements will be, we will be in touch. I end this letter with the sad news that Mrs Sully will be leaving us on Friday 26th June after 23 years of service to the school.   Anna has been a wonderful colleague and friend over the years and I know that I will not be alone in missing her around school over the months to come. We all wish her well in her new ventures. From June 29th we welcome Deborah Turner as the new Business Manager to the school. I know you will all make her feel very welcome when the day comes when we are all back in school. Yours sincerely,  SEAN SMALL Head Teacher

Letter to Parents - update on 5th June 2020

Dear Parents/Carers, Re: week 1 Return to School Staff have been in and busy putting in place all the necessary procedures to ensure the safe return of the children.   These measures have been helped following my conversations with parents of those who are returning. Knowing the approximate number of children coming back, the Senior Leadership Team have been able to set up the appropriate provision. The school have added an additional Hall Bubble to accommodate our additional needs children. This Bubble will operate out of the hall and will be overseen by Miss Gisby. Your views highlight you are happy to continue with Home Learning and until further Government assurances are in place. Low numbers have been evident this week with only 6 children returning in Year 6. We predict that only a handful of Year 1 children will be coming back next week, and though they might be slightly higher within EYFS, the school is confident that the numbers will be well below the 15 needed for each Bubble. We have set up 1x Bubble per class going forward, with a teacher and support staff member allocated to it. A staff rota is now in place which will see all teaching and support staff teaching in EYFS, Year 1 and Year 6. This will mean that Home Learning will continue throughout all year groups. It is important to highlight however, that with the continuation of Home Learning and the increased workload of teaching and end of year reports, marking of submitted work will be notably reduced from Monday 8th June.  The school continues to facilitate provision for vulnerable pupils and children of key workers. We know some employers will be encouraging you to return to work, but we are not in a position at the moment to extend places to other children until we receive further government guidance. We ask all parents of EYFS, Year 1 or Year 6 to give the school 1 weeks’ notice if they  request their children to  return to school over the coming weeks. If your child will remain at home, we will continue to support you and them with home learning, and the voucher scheme support for those eligible. Please do continue to stay in touch with us about how your child is getting on. Warm regards, Sean Small Headteacher
