Shrewsbury School are inviting young budding musicians to sign up for their successful ‘Symphonic Sundays’ programme for 2021-2.  It is free to join and is aimed at students of all ages – the majority typically being 7-13 years of age in the past.  

The main aim of the programme is to bring musicians together – for some it will be an exciting first opportunity to play in a full orchestra.  They are looking to develop enthusiasm and a love for orchestral playing, which they hope will be inspiring to a generation of local young musicians.  

For more information and to sign up – visit https://www.shrewsbury.org.uk/symphonic-sundays

Well Done Everyone and Have a great weekend!

Don’t Forget- Class Photo’s are taking place today!

🙂

We are going to “attempt” the tennis sessions again tomorrow as the weather looks slightly better.

Please can you send your child to school in their PE kits and a warm coat.

We would just like to remind you again of the current guidelines we are following regarding illness –

If your child is displaying any COVID symptoms (a high temperature, a new continuous cough or loss of sense of smell/taste) they must self-isolate for 10 days, or until a negative test result has been received.  The rest of the household must also self-isolate for the same period.

PLEASE DO NOT BRING YOUR CHILD OR ANY SIBLINGS TO SCHOOL UNDER THESE CIRCUMSTANCES.  

We advise you to get your child tested as soon as possible (no later than 5 days) and if the test comes back negative they, and any siblings, may return to school immediately if they are well enough in general.  You can book a PCR test by calling 119 or by visiting www.gov.uk/get-coronavirus-test

Rapid lateral flow tests should not be used on children if they have symptoms, as these are only to be used when no symptoms are present. You must either book a PCR test or contact school for a home testing kit.

If anyone in your household is displaying any of the above COVID symptoms please do not bring your children to school, as they must self-isolate for 10 days or until a negative test result is received by the person displaying symptoms.

If your child is not displaying any of the above symptoms and is well enough to cope with a full day of school, they can come in.  If your child feels at all unwell before coming to school, please do not send them in. Usually we encourage children to ‘see how it goes’ but in the current circumstances we cannot allow this.

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

We have had several confirmed cases of Chickenpox this week.

If you have concerns that your child might be unwelll please keep them off school and follow the NHS guidance below.
