• Easter Journey

  Thu 07 Apr 2022 M Kirk

  Yesterday, the children broke off into mixed-class groupings to walk through the Easter story. We considered different concepts along the way that were related to the children's own lives and said some prayers for those lonely, sad or in need. We finished our journey at the St. Peters church, where the children learned about the resurrection. 

   

  The heavens did open up at one point, to the stage that several of the groups who attended were joined by two ducks, who stayed perfectly still and seemed to be contemplating the Easter story along with the rest of us. Or at least, that's what I like to think. 

  

• Thank you Eco-Council

  Tue 05 Apr 2022 M Kirk

  Having met with eco-council this year, one of the things they felt most worried about in our school was the amount of waste we produce and where it goes. Particularly with the lack of recycling bins in the school playground. As a result, we have upgraded some bins, and purchased others, to make it clear to everyone how to organise our rubbish and ensure the maximum amount of rubbish can be recycled. 

   

  I know eco-council still have a lot on their list, so there is still much work to be done on that score! For now though, here is the new bin, which was a direct result of their articulate campaigning to me this year. 

• Living with Covid-19

  Fri 01 Apr 2022

  As you know, from April the 1^st there will be no free access to PCR testing and LFT testing. Please consider this letter a reminder of general health practices that we can all follow, in order to preserve the maximum attendance in school.

  • If a child is ill and has a temperature, we will still ask you to collect them as we always have. We have some remaining stocks of LFTs in school that, with your consent, we may be able to offer while our own stocks remain.
  • In any event where your child has tested positive for covid-19, they should not attend school for five days, or longer if they are still unwell.
  • If your child has been sent home with a temperature in particular, they should not return to school until the temperature has gone.
  • If a child has had a tummy-bug, with vomiting or diarrhea, they should not return to school for 48 hours.
  • At school, we will continue ensure we have good ventilation across the board to reduce the spread of any airborne viruses.
  • We will continue to provide children with hand sanitiser and encourage good hygiene.
  • In line with government guidance, we would advise you to wear a face-mask at events where there are groups of us together indoors.
