We are sending home today the order forms for the Mothers Day gifts.

Please complete and return the forms along with the payment to the school office by Friday 13th March at the latest.

Maximum cost is £4.00.

If you have any queries please either speak to Mrs Smith, School or Mrs Elaine Downes, PTA Chairperson.

If the weather becomes adverse and we deem it necessary to close the school, you will be informed via the school website and school facebook page. All school closures will be announced on Radio Shropshire so if we are not on their closures list, then you must presume we are open.

Our guidance is that schools are expected to stay open unless there really is no sensible option but to close. We take into account the safety of our staff and children who have to travel in by car, as well as the affects of the weather on the school itself.

Please do not ring the school if there is heavy snow in the morning – your first port of call should be Radio Shropshire and the School Website. They will make announcements from 8am.  If we need to close the school during the school day, we will again post this information on our website and the school facebook page. If snow becomes heavy, we advise that you check these platforms regularly to see if we are advising you to collect your children.

Many thanks for your understanding.

This is an update on the government’s response to COVID-19 (Coronavirus). Public Health England advises that the risk to individuals in the UK remains low.

If you have a cough, or fever or shortness of breath and have visited any of the high risk areas in the last 14 days, stay indoors and call NHS 111 informing them of your recent travel.

We would like to reassure you that we have no children at school who have recently returned from a category one area. We are working with the local authority and the DFE. We have also phoned for advice on NHS 111 ourselves, which we will continue to do if any concerns are raised. If any members of your family have traveled to vulnerable areas and you feel you need to let the school know, please telephone the office.

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

The team are due to return back to school at 3:45pm.

Please collect your child from reception

Many Thanks

Mrs Smith
