Our harvest Festival will be a bit different this year. We are unable to go to the church, or even to get together in the hall but we have innovated and will be bringing you our first ever digital Harvest Festival! As a Church of England school, Harvest is a really important event in the calendar and we still want to celebrate and give thanks. Each class will be performing a song in their class bubble. There will be readings, poems, prayers and art work. The whole thing will be recorded so that we can all watch it on Friday 9th October in school. You will then be able to watch it at your leisure as it will remain on the school website after this time.

This autumn we will be offering you a telephone consultation with your child’s class teacher as we are not able to have visitors in school yet.  You will be able to sign up for a ten minute slot, just as before, using the school website booking system. We will let you know when this goes live.

The appointments will be mainly between 3-6pm during the week beginning 5th October. Part time teacher and teachers with larger classes may vary slightly from these dates.  The call will come up and ‘unknown caller’ due to data protection. Please make sure you are in an area where you have a good signal and can have an uninterrupted conversation with the teacher at your chosen time. Ten minutes will go very quickly on the phone, so if you have any questions it may be worth making a note of them so that you can make the most of your consultation.

Parents of children on the SEND register: if you would like to receive another phone call from Mrs Foster our SENDco regarding your child’s additional needs, we can arrange this for you during the week beginning 18th October. Please let the class teacher know and we will set this up for you.

Many thanks

We have put in place a remote learning policy which will ensure that teachers provide work for your child if they are having to isolate at home. You will find activities on the class pages of the school website once this happens, as you did during lockdown. The teacher may also invite your child to Zoom into the lessons that are going on in class. This won’t always be possible or appropriate though.

The remote learning is not for children who are ill; it is for children who are having to isolate due to track and trace, another family member waiting for test results or isolating after returning from holiday. We would not expect children who are ill themselves to complete work.

You can see this and other documents on our policies page.
