Winter Weather Closures

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.

Coronavirus

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.

This link will give you specific maps and guidance if you are concerned:

Tiger Class’ Book of the Month – February 2020

Every month, I will try to recommend a book to share with the Tigers. Sometimes, it will link to our Topic work or another subject and sometimes is just a great book to enjoy – reading for pleasure is just as important!

This month, the chosen book is “Kind”, by Alison Green.

With gorgeous pictures by a host of top illustrators, KIND is a timely, inspiring picture book about the many ways children can be kind, from sharing their toys and games to helping those from other countries feel welcome.The book is endorsed by GRUFFALO illustrator Axel Scheffler, and one pound from the sale of each printed copy will go to the Three Peas charity, which gives vital help to refugees from war-torn countries.
