A message for all parents

Just a reminder….. School is ONLY open for Key Worker families who booked places by last Friday.

Dear Parents,

As an SLT, and with support from our Chair of Governors, we have taken the decision based on the Independent SAGE report published to NOT re-open our school to Nursery, Reception Year 1 and Year 6 on Tuesday 2nd June.

The Independent SAGE ‘interim findings and concerns’ document released today states on page 2, “decisions on school opening should be guided by evidence of low levels of COVID-19 infections in the community and the ability to rapidly respond to new infections through a local test, track and isolate strategy. There is no clear evidence that these conditions are met. Until they are it is not safe to open schools on June 1.”

On page 3, the Independent SAGE document states, “Delaying a school re-opening by two weeks (to June 15th) approximately halves the risk to children, and delaying the re-opening to September is less risky still.”

A delay to Monday 15th June will significantly diminish the risk to our children, our staff and families. As these are the most important things in our lives, I am sure you will fully agree with this decision. This gives us further time to ensure our risk assessments and buildings are ready, so we can ensure the safety of all our children and staff when we do return.

We will continue to review the situation throughout the coming weeks and make further decisions once we have a clear indication that the rate of infection in our area is declining and continuing to decline.

We will continue to support Home Learning after half term and to provide the provision for key worker children and our vulnerable children so rotas will be in place for staff to support this. If you wish to book a Key Worker place then please find the booking form on the school website and email it to A2134@telford.gov.uk. Your booking needs to be made by the deadline, which is the Friday before the week you want (Friday 29 May) so school can organise the appropriate rooms and activities.

Thank you for our continued support as we try to make the right decisions for our community, which are all centred around keeping our children, staff and families safe.

My best wishes to you and your families,

Mrs Tomlinson                                          Simon Taylor

Headteacher                                            Chair of Governors

School Infection Control Procedures for Parents

 

School Infection Control Procedures for Parents

The Sir Alexander Fleming team have all been working hard on a robust plan to ensure the best possible safety around reopening school. Please find below some of the measures we are putting in place and that you MUST follow:

  • Please stick to your staggered start and finish times – do not arrive early or late, we are trying to ensure a limited number of parents on site and a swift drop off and collection.
  • Do not hang around on the playground or at the front of school talking with other families or friends – you will be asked to move on.
  • All entrance and exit points will be staffed to ensure sensible queuing
  • Only 1 parent to bring children to school
  • Enter school through the main front gates ONLY
  • Exit school through the Car Park gate ONLY
  • Follow the one-way system at all times
  • Stand 2 metres away from all other families, door entrances and teaching staff
  • If you need to talk with the class teacher in the morning, then please pass this message to the adult on the door, remembering to stand 2 metres away.
  • If teachers speak to you at the end of the school day, this will be outside at a 2 metre distance.
  • If you need to come into the Reception foyer, then please adhere to one person in at a time and stand back from the glass.
  • Use the hand sanitiser at the main entrance before entering the building.
  • If your child is bringing their own packed lunch to school then this needs to be brought with them at their start time. We are unable to move around school to deliver packed lunches brought from home.
  • Ensure your child brings their own water bottle to school and takes it home for careful washing each day.
  • School uniform is required. When your child gets home from school, they will need to remove their clothing by the front door, so that it can be washed immediately. Your child then needs to take a shower before chatting with any other family member. We are asking that children come to school in clean uniform each day.
  • Long hair MUST be tied up – if not teachers will supply hair bobbles.
  • NO jewellery is to be worn – the virus can live on certain metals for up to
