Oranges for Christingle – Please Help!

We are really struggling to get the oranges for the Christingle Service on Thursday.

Please could each child bring an orange to school with them on Monday so we can begin decorating them. We have everything else that is required to decorate the oranges in school already.

Sorry for the late request!

Menu Change – Tuesday 14th December

On Tuesday 14th December it will be Meatballs instead of the advertised Burgers.

Apologises for this change.

Save the Children – Christmas Jumper Day – Thursday 16th December

On Thursday 16th December, it is our Christmas Jumper Day!

On this day children can come to school in their favourite Christmas jumpers. They do not need to be shop-bought –  you can just grab an old jumper and cover it with stickers, tinsel, tin foil or whatever sparkly stuff you can find!

Children should wear full school uniform with their Christmas jumper replacing their school sweatshirt/cardigan.

If you would like to make a donation to Save the Children please visit the link below –

Please see Mrs Smith in the school office who will be able to assist you.

COVID-19 Guidance – Notice to ALL Parents

Please see below a table for a reminder of the current COVID-19 guidelines we are following.  Please pay particular attention to the second scenario relating to colds, headaches, sore throats and tummy aches etc.

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.
