Summer Holiday Sport Club – Jonny Hughes

We have been asked to share this message from Jonny Hughes.

Shrewsbury Town in the Community are trying to gauge if there is a demand for a multi sport Summer camp to be delivered from St John the Baptist CE Primary School – Ruyton.
All of our sessions are fun and inclusive but importantly follow the correct social distancing guidelines and policies set by the Government.

Important information re. holidays this term

Dear parents and carers,

We have had a few people let us know that they are taking a family holiday before we break up from school this term.  For the children that are currently in school with us, there won’t be any penalty for doing this. However, you will not be able to bring your child back into school into one of our bubbles when you return from holiday. Despite the fact that there have been some easing of regulations and to isolating rules following travel abroad, we are not prepared to take the risk of someone re-entering school having been to a different country, or indeed a different part of this country. We hope you understand the reasoning behind this and will support us with this decision. It would not be fair to the school staff or the rest of the children in the bubble to introduce this risk so near to the end of term.

Please also be aware that if you are not adhering to the government distancing regulations out of school, we have the right to ask that your child does not attend school at this time. We have had several children tell us about sleepovers, going in each other’s paddling pools, parties and suchlike. We know that these could be within the guidelines: maximum of 6 people from a maximum of two households, keeping 2m distance at all times, or with a newly formed ‘support bubble’. However, we must ask you to be very honest and not send your child to school please if you think you have operated outside of these rules.

Thank you very much for your support. Everything is going really well at school and we are looking forward to getting everyone safely to the end of term.

Joining nursery – September 2020

Starting nursery is a very exciting time. I want to do my very best to ensure that children learn and grow, they feel happy and are supported along their learning journey. As we know starting nursery can be an overwhelming and daunting time for children and parents, particularly this year due to COVID-19. So I wish to ensure a positive and smooth transition as your child starts at our nursery.

You can read all the relevant information on our website, through the link ‘Joining’ then click ‘Nursery’. This information will help prepare you and your child for their start with us at Myddle nursery in September.

If you require any extra information or you wish to speak to me directly about registering your child, please feel free to e-mail through to nursery@myddle.shropshire.sch.uk or call on 01939 290268. I will be available daily until 12pm except Wednesdays as school is closed.

I look forward to hearing from you

Dear Parent
Shropshire Music Service have been offering free online instrumental lessons this term.  From September we will need to start charging for lessons as normal.  As our teachers are not yet allowed to visit schools, the highly successful online teaching will continue for the Autumn term.

Shropshire Music Service will be billing parents directly while online lessons are taking place. This will definitely be the case for lessons delivered in the Autumn term. To sign up, please complete the attached application form and arrange payment in advance of lessons beginning. You can do this now to ensure all is in place in good time. We will be unable to start lessons until payment has been received.

As our staff are working from home, please contact the Music Service by email if you have any queries and one of our staff will contact you.

Many thanks for your continued support.

New one way system at school

From Monday morning (8th June), you will now be greeted by a one way system to guide you through the school grounds. By following Government guidelines, this has to be in place to ensure that social distancing can maintained.

When you arrive at school, and enter through the main playground gate, you will see white markings on the playground to follow and guide through the playground to the exit gate situated near the nursery. On your way through,  you will pass zones marked in blue on the playground for you to use to drop off and collect your children.

Please click on the link below for guidelines and photos of the markings as well as instructions for how the drop off and collections zones are to used.

Drop off and collection at Myddle

This will all seem a little different at first, but as with supermarkets etc, it won’t take long to get used to new ways of having to do things. After all, these measures are only in place to keep everyone as safe as can be.

I will be on the playground on Monday morning to greet you all and we are all looking forward to seeing those of you who are returning.

Thank you for your understanding

Proposed re-opening of the school – Draft plan

Dear parents and carers,

I know you must all be wondering what the next step will be for our schools to help you plan your own routines at home. There has been a huge amount of speculation, followed by so many documents from the DFE and LA. There are many more updates and documents on their way next week. We do not want to make plans only to have to undo them, so what I propose is a draft plan which we will adapt once we have all the advice and guidance. We need to audit all the staff and survey the parents properly to ascertain attendance numbers in the first instance.
We plan to take the return to school as safely as possible.  Our local authority have asked us to create teaching groups of 8-10 pupils, integrating them slowly, beginning with the youngest. These groups would not be able to mix with any other during their time in school.
We plan to begin with Nursery and Reception children, mornings only for the first week. If this is manageable, we will integrate year one, mornings only the following week. This will then be reviewed and depending on numbers of children in school and staff available, we may be able to introduce year 6. Potentially we need three teaching spaces for each year group, so it really is not possible to say yet. Our teaching days will be Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday.
We will still look after the children of key workers in a separate room in the school so that there is no cross-contamination. This will still be 5 days a week 8:30 until 4:30
The rest of the school will be closed on Wednesdays to allow for teachers PPA and for a deep clean of the school.
We are in talks with the Corbet about transition days for our year 6 on their premises as well, so please don’t panic that we won’t see our year 6 again. It is just hopefully useful to know that year 6s may not return to school until end of June at the earliest.
Teachers will continue to provide home-learning activities for the children at home, and this will be the same work that they complete with the children in school. The teachers will have chance to respond on Wednesdays or on some afternoons if they are not looking after keyworkers children.
We will pass on firm dates and details as soon as we are able to do so.  Thank you for your patience and understanding.
