Keep up to date with all the latest news happening in school at the moment.
I need to inform you that we have lots of sickness and diarrhea in school.
Symptoms begin with complaints of feeling sick, temperature and tummy aches. Although the outbreak can be severe, it should be over for the child in 48 hours from the start of the illness. If it lasts any longer, you should contact your GP for advice.
Pupils then need to wait another 48hours after the last motion of sickness or diarrhea before returning to school to prevent this spreading. Please ensure good handwashing at home.
We are taking additional measures at school to prevent this illness from spreading including extra cleaning.
We also have a rising number of cases of COVID in school. Please watch out for child symptoms - cough, temperature, fatigue and headaches. If your child has symptoms, please keep them at home and/or complete a lateral flow. If they have symptoms you can still request a PCR test. We ask that positive cases are kept at home for a week or until the child has 2 negative tests.
This increase in both infections is rising within our local community. Please be cautious and keep as safe and healthy as you can.
Your co-operation is appreciated.
What a busy few weeks we have had! Children have been having a great time with their learning through World Book Day, an online lesson with Michal Rosen and Maths Morning!
Well done to everyone for joining in so well and for their high levels of participation and engagement. Please take a few moments to check out the posts on the dojo or see some of the photographs in the 'gallery' section of the website, located under the Children tab.
Don't forget this Friday (18th March) is Red Nose Day. Pupils will be taking part in a sponsored times table quiz and an exercise slot. Please bring any sponsor money into school as soon as you can. We are hoping to raise £2 per child, giving us a total of £500!
Thank you for your support.
Please be aware we seem to have a large number of pupils who are experiencing a sickness bug. This seems to be a consistent pattern between local schools. Children should remain at home until they have 48 hours clear of any sickness to prevent this being spread further.
Please note: sickness could also be a potential sign of COVID in children. Our current procedure is for pupils who test positive or have COVID symptoms to remain off school for a week, or until 2 negative lateral flows are achieved. This is in line with Parklands and Wilsthorpe schools.
As COVID cases in all schools is rising, your cooperation is appreciated.
Please read the latest newsletter re COVID update and how we are changing the procedures to keep everyone safe.
This has been sent out as a dojo, via letter tonight and is available on the newletter section of the website.
Please read and follow the procedures - your co-operation is appreciated once again.
School is open - however please take care when walking on the campus.
In light of the recent COVID-19 updates, we ask all over 12 year olds to wear a mask in the close, communal area outside on our restricted playground when collecting pupils. This will start from tonight.
We ask this to assist us in keeping the school open, limiting the spread of Coronavirus and making sure everyone is healthy for Christmas. Your support and co-operation is valued and appreciated.
Happy Diwali to all our families!
We hope you have a wonderful time celebrating!
A new lunch menu has been posted on our website under the 'Parents' tab, scrolling down to the 'Lunch Menu and Payments' page.

Non-Uniform Day – Friday 22nd October
On Friday 22nd October we are holding a non-uniform day. If they choose to join in, pupils can come in their own clothes for a donation of £1.00. Donations need to be handed it at registration to the class teacher please (not to staff on the gates). Otherwise, please come in school uniform.
Please ensure clothes selected are appropriate, warm and shoes are not with a high heel. Pupils need to bring a coat.
School closes for one week on Friday 22nd October. We re-open on Monday 1st November
Good afternoon
We have just received the results of the water testing and have been informed that the water is safe. The water quality levels are all way below the limits set so the water quality is deemed to be ‘good’.
We do need to get 2 further test results back, one for fluoride and one for TVC (total viable count). Therefore, we will continue to use bottled water for drinking purposes as a precaution until this time.
On receipt of these results, it is now possible to open so we will re-open tomorrow (Tuesday 21st September for all pupils). However, if you wish to keep your child at home until the other tests are returned, this is your parental decision and you should inform the school of this choice.
Please ensure your child brings a full bottle of water to assist in this matter. We look forward to having everyone back.
