Free – NHS have launched a NEW online parenting course

The Solihull Approach (NHS) have launched a NEW online parenting course

How do I access?

Via the In Our Place website.

What’s the code?

  • If you haven’t used it already here is the access code for all the online courses (funded for residents of Shropshire): DARWIN18
  • If, like many parents, you have already used this code, log into your account here and this course will be ready in your dashboard to start whenever you are ready.

Can I tell my family and friends?

Absolutely! Share the news with other families in the area so that they too can take advantage of this fantastic opportunity.

How long is it?

There are 7 modules which each take about 5 minutes to complete and will benefit from time to digest in between.

If you like this…

…you might like the bigger  ‘Understanding your child’ or ‘Understanding your child with additional needs’, or other courses in the series available via the In Our Place website.   These are all free with the code DARWIN18

Easter Holidays Contact Tracing

Dear Parents/Carers,
The Department for Education have asked us to make you aware of the following information and relevant arrangements regarding positive COVID-19 cases in the holidays:

  • If your child develops symptoms within 48 hours of being in school and tests positive for coronavirus (COVID 19) during the first 6 days after teaching ends (Friday 2nd April to Wednesday 7th April), the school will be asked to assist in identifying close contacts and advising self-isolation, as the individual may have been infectious whilst in school.
  • Where a pupil or staff member tests positive for coronavirus (COVID-19), having developed symptoms more than 48 hours since being in school, the school should not be contacted. Parents and carers should follow contact tracing instructions provided by NHS Test and Trace.
  • School staff are not asked to remain on-call or conduct any contact tracing more than 6 days after the final day of teaching. Where a school’s last teaching day is on Thursday 1st April, there should be no pupil contact tracing asks beyond Wednesday 7th April.

For the first 6 days after the end of term, schools are not asked to be on-call at all times. Our school admin team will check the admin emails once a day from Friday 2nd April to Wednesday 7th April.
Where pupils are required to self-isolate due to testing positive or due to contact with a positive case after Wednesday 7th April, we do not need to be informed about their absence until Monday 19th April.
When do I need to contact school?  

If your child develops symptoms of COVID-19 within 48 hours of being in school and then tests positive for COVID-19, please email the admin address (admin@myddle.shropshire.sch.uk) as soon as possible with the following information –

  • Pupil Name and class
  • The date the symptoms began
  • The date your child was last in school
  • The date the test was carried out
  • The date the result was received

We will then use this information to contact Public Health England. If your child’s test result comes back negative, you do not need to inform school.

If we need to ask you to isolate, we will do so via class dojo.

If you have any questions, please contact the school office on 01939 290834

Parking Issues/Concerns raised

Concerns have been raised about the parents parking arrangements before and after school. Please can we request that the layby/road outside school is used sensibly.

It has been noted that:

  • cars are sticking out into the road
  • excessive gaps being left between cars which could accommodate another vehicle
  • cars parking both sides on the approach to the village hall car park, restricting view for residents and other parents leaving the area
  • speed of parents approaching school, and surrounding areas.

We are able to use the Village Hall car park and our staggered leave times at the end of the day should help to ease the volume of parents in the area at any one time.

Please support us and help us to keep everyone safe.

RSE Parent Consultation – action required

Please open the attachments below about the new statutory PHSE and Relationships and Health Education in school that we will be carrying out in the summer term. The consultation letter explains everything you need to know. The other documents will answer common questions and give you a chance to respond via our survey.

 

Please see your child’s class dojo story for a more in depth overview of topics covered for their year group.  This will tell you exactly which aspects will be taught in each class.
