We wish all of our school community a very restful holiday.

 

Easter Holidays Contact Tracing

Dear Parents/Carers,
The Department for Education have asked us to make you aware of the following information and relevant arrangements regarding positive COVID-19 cases in the holidays:

  • If your child develops symptoms within 48 hours of being in school and tests positive for coronavirus (COVID 19) during the first 6 days after teaching ends (Friday 2nd April to Wednesday 7th April), the school will be asked to assist in identifying close contacts and advising self-isolation, as the individual may have been infectious whilst in school.
  • Where a pupil or staff member tests positive for coronavirus (COVID-19), having developed symptoms more than 48 hours since being in school, the school should not be contacted. Parents and carers should follow contact tracing instructions provided by NHS Test and Trace.
  • School staff are not asked to remain on-call or conduct any contact tracing more than 6 days after the final day of teaching. Where a school’s last teaching day is on Thursday 1st April, there should be no pupil contact tracing asks beyond Wednesday 7th April.

For the first 6 days after the end of term, schools are not asked to be on-call at all times. Our school admin team will check the admin emails once a day from Friday 2nd April to Wednesday 7th April.
Where pupils are required to self-isolate due to testing positive or due to contact with a positive case after Wednesday 7th April, we do not need to be informed about their absence until Monday 19th April.
When do I need to contact school?  

If your child develops symptoms of COVID-19 within 48 hours of being in school and then tests positive for COVID-19, please email the admin address (admin@myddle.shropshire.sch.uk) as soon as possible with the following information –

  • Pupil Name and class
  • The date the symptoms began
  • The date your child was last in school
  • The date the test was carried out
  • The date the result was received

We will then use this information to contact Public Health England. If your child’s test result comes back negative, you do not need to inform school.

If we need to ask you to isolate, we will do so via class dojo.

If you have any questions, please contact the school office on 01939 290834

Parking Issues/Concerns raised

Concerns have been raised about the parents parking arrangements before and after school. Please can we request that the layby/road outside school is used sensibly.

It has been noted that:

  • cars are sticking out into the road
  • excessive gaps being left between cars which could accommodate another vehicle
  • cars parking both sides on the approach to the village hall car park, restricting view for residents and other parents leaving the area
  • speed of parents approaching school, and surrounding areas.

We are able to use the Village Hall car park and our staggered leave times at the end of the day should help to ease the volume of parents in the area at any one time.

Please support us and help us to keep everyone safe.

RSE Parent Consultation – action required

Please open the attachments below about the new statutory PHSE and Relationships and Health Education in school that we will be carrying out in the summer term. The consultation letter explains everything you need to know. The other documents will answer common questions and give you a chance to respond via our survey.

 

Please see your child’s class dojo story for a more in depth overview of topics covered for their year group.  This will tell you exactly which aspects will be taught in each class.

School Menu Update

There has been a slight change to the school lunch menu. These changes will take effect from Wednesday 24th March.

Please find attached the amended menu, they are also visible on both noticeboards at school and in the parents area on the website, look for “meal payments & menu”.

If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact school on 01939 290834

****Head lice****

Please can we ask that ALL parents check their child’s hair as we have had another report of head-lice in school. If any evidence of an infestation is located please treat it appropriately.

Please can we also ask that long hair is tied back in a pony tail.

If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact school on 01939 290834

Red Nose Day 2021

We would like to say a Massive well done to the children and parents for all of their hard work creating their outfits. They all looked amazing and have raised an impressive £128.50

Have a great weekend and see you all on Monday

 

Wearing of Red Noses – Friday 19th March

We have been asked by several parents if their children can wear their Red Noses to school on Friday.

We are happy for Red Noses to be brought in to school and worn but could we kindly  ask that you stress to your child that these must not be shared with their friends.

We will NOT have noses for sale in school.
