Keep up to date with all the latest news happening in school at the moment.

• School update

  Fri 11 Sep 2020 RWilmot

  Today marks the end of our first full week and, although the children are tired, all has gone well. Pupils have got reading books, have begun the creative curriculum topics and are getting into the swing of the new routines and regulations.

   

  A couple of things have arisen that I need to clarify:

  1. As we have no kitchen facilities and we import our food now, we are unable to offer any alternatives to the food menu (with exception for pupils who have cultural or dietary requirements).If your child does not like the menu on a certain day, I would recommend sending sandwiches instead. Unfortunately we are unable to offer the flexibility we once did.

  2. As I have already posted, there has been an error made with the dinner menu and this week has followed the plan for Week B. Next week's menu will follow Week C. I will be altering the dates on the website menu this weekend so please look again next week for future food plans. The catering service apologise for this error. Please note we are using the 'Hot to Go' menu and that all options are subject to availability and delivery of food under COVID-19 restrictions.

  3. We are unable to store any scooters or bikes at present. ALL parents must take them home with them after arrival. We cannot make any exceptions as we need to be fair to all families and we have simply had too many requests to be able to facilitate this safely as all areas are either play areas or access points. Anyone who will not adhere to this, will have property removed. This is a temporary rule as we do not have any safe storage facilities. I hope to be able to sort this over the next month and be able to lift this rule after half term when we have something suitable. As the access has changed, I would recommend that, when we do allow storage, that all bikes and scooters are locked. School cannot be responsible for any loss or theft for abandoned property. 

  Your co-operation is appreciated.

• COVID-19 regulations to keep us safe

  Fri 11 Sep 2020 RWilmot

  In order to keep everyone safe there are certain procedures that schools have put into place as part of their COVID-19 risk assessment. These need to be adhered to by all parents and families.

  1. Please do not bring more than one person to collect pupils. We are seeing multiple people, teenagers and grandparents arriving and this is against safe practice. 

  2. Please exit the playground and campus as soon as you can - do not wait for other families. Standing in groups chatting is not safe practice and should not be occurring.

  3. Access to Harrington and our playground is for parents of junior school children only - it cannot be used as a cut-through. Wislthorpe and Parklands have their own access arrangements. Together we are trying to reduce congestion and footfall in key areas so we would ask all parents/older students to follow these rules.

  Please note - abusive behaviour towards staff on our campus will not be tolerated and action may be taken. This is endorsed by all three schools. Your patience and co-operation is appreciated and vital to keep everyone safe and healthy.

• Ready to go!

  What a difference a few days makes. On Tuesday this building was a bare shell. By Thursday it had become a vibrant school.

  All ready and looking forward to greeting the children later today.

  

• Nearly there!

  Wed 26 Aug 2020 RWilmot
  We are now in the final stages of the building being ready! It has been really interesting and exciting to see how much has been done over the last week. The final fixings are being completed and the new entrance ramp is installed. The cleaning team are now in and we aim to move in next week, when all of our new furniture arrives.
