Please visit the Letters to Parents page for the latest update.

If you think your child may be entitled to free school meals but have not yet registered please apply online through the Free School Meal Hub.

 

Your child may be able to get free school meals if you get any of the following:

• Income Support
• income-based Jobseeker’s Allowance
• income-related Employment and Support Allowance
• support under Part VI of the Immigration and Asylum Act 1999
• the guaranteed element of Pension Credit
• Child Tax Credit (provided you’re not also entitled to Working Tax Credit and have an annual gross income of no more than £16,190)
• Working Tax Credit run-on - paid for 4 weeks after you stop qualifying for Working Tax Credit
• Universal Credit - if you apply on or after 1 April 2018 your household income must be less than £7,400 a year (after tax and not including any benefits you get)

 

Please note this is not the same as Universal Free School Meals that infant pupils receive

17.03.2020

Dear Parents,

 

As you are aware the Government guidelines changed yesterday with the request that if anyone in your household is showing signs of the Coronavirus, then the whole household must self-isolate for 14 days. The symptoms are a new persistent cough and/or a temperature of 37.8 or above.

 

Alongside this there has been specific advice for adults with certain medical conditions which make them very vulnerable should they catch the virus, and those people have been asked to socially isolate themselves. This includes asthmatics and pregnant women.

 

As a result of this I have asked any vulnerable staff to stay at home as from tomorrow to protect themselves and others and so reduce the likelihood of them needing treatment and thus putting an extra strain on the NHS. This will result in some staff changes across both schools to enable us to remain open as directed by the government.

 

I am reviewing the situation daily and if need be will consider partial or full closure if the situation means I cannot staff the school safely.

 

We are also looking into providing food parcels to those people who may need them but I will let you know more about this when I have more details.

At the moment there are no staff showing any symptoms of the virus but we do have a number of families self-isolating as they are following the government guidance.

 

I will continue to keep you updated via the school website of any further developments or plans.

 

Best wishes

Mrs Sheila Pape

Please go to our Coronavirus Information and Advice page for up-to-date information from Public Health England, our Covid-19 school action plan and risk assessment.

 

 

We will be holding a non school uniform (sporting clothing) day on Friday and request that children donate 50p in support of Sport Relief charities.

 

The children will be running laps around the school field either by running/jogging or walking.

 

 

6 children are picked for this event.
