Weekly Challenges – Monday 1st June

Hello everyone,

I hope that you’ve had a fantastic half term and been making the most of the beautiful weather we have been having lately. I can’t wait to hear about the things your child has been doing over the past week so please send me an email or a message to their seesaw account.

Challenges have been created using a daily timetable format, however these can be done at your own pace throughout the week. Don’t forget to watch the videos posted every day on seesaw too!

The challenges for this term will be posted on the school website and your child’s seesaw account every Monday. These can be printed at home, however if you would like copies of the work, please email or send a message on Seesaw and I will leave them at the school office for you to collect every Monday. This week, they will be ready to collect from Tuesday 2nd June, after 10am.

If you have any queries please contact me through seesaw or via email: hannah.dornan3@taw.org.uk

Hope you have a super week and I can’t wait to see all of your lovely photos, messages and work you have completed.

Miss Dornan

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
