Updated COVID Guidance

Covid-19 Guidance – UPDATE 

As of Monday 4th October, due to a guidance update from our Local Authority, our school Covid-19 guidelines will be changing slightly.

All household contacts of a confirmed positive case should undertake a PCR test, with or without symptoms, and should now remain home and not come into school until a negative PCR is returned.

If the PCR result is negative, then pupils can return to school but we would advise that a further PCR test is taken after 4 or 5 days as a precaution.  Pupils can continue to attend school whilst waiting on the second PCR result.

Rapid lateral flow tests will not suffice.

We now also strongly advise that if your child is feeling at all unwell e.g. cold, headache, sore throat, tummy ache etc. you take them for a PCR test.  Children that test positive do not always develop any of the three main COVID-19 symptoms.

All other guidelines remain the same. Please see table below –

Scenario Next Steps
Child shows symptoms of COVID-19

  • a high temperature
  • a new, continuous cough
  • a loss or change to sense of smell or taste
Child must self-isolate for 10 days, or until a negative PCR test result has been received.

Lateral flow tests should not be used if a child has symptoms. 

Child feels unwell e.g. cold, headache, sore throat, tummy ache etc. but has no main COVID-19 symptoms. We would strongly advise that you take your child for a PCR test and keep them at home until a negative result has been received.
Someone in the household receives a positive PCR result. All household contacts of a confirmed positive case should undertake a PCR test, with or without symptoms, and should remain home and not come into school until a negative PCR is returned.

Rapid lateral flow tests will not suffice.

If the PCR result is negative, then pupils can return to school but we would advise that a further PCR test is taken after 4 or 5 days as a precaution.  Pupils can continue to attend school whilst waiting on the second PCR result.

Child is identified as a close contact of someone (outside of their household) who has had a positive PCR result. We would strongly advise that you take your child for a PCR test. However, they can continue to attend school as normal whilst waiting for the results, unless they have any symptoms of COVID-19 or feel at all unwell.

 

You can book a PCR test by calling 119 or by visiting www.gov.uk/get-coronavirus-test

If you have any questions, please contact the school office. Thank you for your support.

 

 

Reception Baseline Assessment (RBA) information for parents

Information for parents and carers of children in reception:

Your child will be participating in the reception baseline assessment (RBA)
within the first 6 weeks of starting reception.
The purpose of the assessment is to provide the starting point for a new measure
that will help parents understand how well schools support their pupils to
progress between reception and year 6 / the end of key stage 2.

The RBA is a short, interactive and practical assessment of your child’s early
literacy, communication, language and mathematics skills when they begin
school, using materials that most children of your child’s age will be familiar with.
It is statutory for all schools from September 2021.

The RBA is not about judging or labelling your child or putting them under any
pressure. Your child cannot ‘pass’ or ‘fail’ the assessment. Its main purpose is to
create a starting point to measure the progress schools make with their pupils. Your child will undertake this as part of their learning through play activities and will and will not feel as though they are being assessed.

This link is to to the full parents information leaflet about the RBA

Lateral Flow Testing

We would like to remind you that if your child develops COVID-19 symptoms (or any illness symptoms), Lateral Flow Tests (LFD tests) should not be used.  LFD tests should only be used when no symptoms are present. If your child develops symptoms, you will need to take them for a PCR test as soon as possible.

If your child has COVID symptoms (a high temperature, a new continuous cough or loss of sense of smell/taste), they will not be able to come to school until a negative PCR result has been received, or until they have completed 10 full days of isolation.

Casual Vacancy

Kitchen Assistant

We have an opportunity for a casual kitchen assistant to work in our busy Baschurch kitchen. We provide meals for Baschurch, Myddle and Weston Lullingfields so the ability to work quickly is important.

This would suit someone who can be available, sometimes at short notice, to cover absences in our team. The work will include basic food preparation, washing up, serving meals and cleaning. Training will be provided.

The hours will always be during the school day.

An enhanced DBS check will be required.

If you are interested, please call me on 01939 260443.

Frog Club in Rhino Class

In Rhino class, we have introduced a maths programme called Frog Club in Rhino class.  This is an scheme that encourages children to have faster recall of number facts. The programme starts with the 10 club and goes through to 99 club and then onto Superstars Division and Superstars Fractions.

By learning these number facts, we really hope that this programme will help your child carry out calculations more easily as they learn to use and apply their knowledge.

Each week, on a Friday, the children will have 5 minutes to complete the test for the club they have been assigned. In order to move on to the next club, they must answer all questions correctly in the time.

Below is a list of all the clubs and the content covered in each.

You can help your child at home by practising fast recall of the number facts in each club.  Click on the link to access each test.
