NEW STARTERS IN NURSERY AND RECEPTION 2020

This is a message for any parents who have children due to start with us in September 2020 !

A warm welcome to you all…

We are very pleased that you have chosen Sir Alexander Fleming Primary as your child’s first school and we cannot wait for you to be a part of our school community.

We are also aware these are very strange circumstances we are all having to deal with and we hope that we are something positive to look forward to in the future… for your child and you.

Please keep an eye out for a  letter that will be sent out later this week with more details about your child’s transition into nursery and reception…

Until then STAY SAFE and TAKE CARE!

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
