DISCO - drop off & pick up
Fri 07 Feb 2020Just a quick reminder the EYFS/KS1 disco will begin at 6pm and finish at 7pm & KS2’s disco will begin at 7:15pm and finish at 8:30pm. Please drop off and pick up your child/ren at the hallside entrance.
We know some parents/carers may wish to share the experience with their child/ren but due to the large numbers of children expected in the hall, we would ask that parents do not stay. Staff and pre-arranged parent helpers will be on hand throughout to make sure your child has a safe and enjoyable time at the disco. For our younger children, this is also a fantastic opportunity for them to develop their independence and social skills whilst enjoying themselves in a safe, familiar environment. If there are any issues during the disco, we will contact you.
Can we also please remind our older children that it is not necessary for them to bring their mobile phones to the disco for risk of them being used to take photos/videos of others without their consent.
If there are any parent/carers who would like to volunteer their help at future PTA events, we would love to hear from you – please contact our school office.
Thank you for your understanding and support.

Coronsvirus Advice
Wed 05 Feb 2020Coronavirus – Advice for all early years providers, schools and further education providers
The government is closely monitoring the spread of the Coronavirus and is taking action at home and abroad. The overall risk of Coronavirus to the UK remains moderate. However we understand that people may be concerned where there are children, students or staff returning from or visiting China. Public Health England and the Foreign Office have issued advice for anyone travelling to the area. This can be found at:
· https://www.gov.uk/foreign-travel-advice/china
· https://www.gov.uk/government/news/wuhan-novel-coronavirus-and-avian-flu-advice-for-travel-to-china
Latest information and advice can also be found at:
Please share this advice with your staff and cascade as appropriate.
Advice for parents/guardians
You should not be unduly worried about the possibility of your children catching the Coronavirus. There is no reason why your children should not continue to attend their early years, school or further education setting as normal. We recognise that some families or children may be planning to travel to China during the forthcoming half term period. If so, please refer to the FCO’s latest travel advice via the link above.
What action you can take
A UK wide campaign has been launched to provide clear advice on how to slow the spread of Coronavirus. Please help to support the campaign which promotes basic hygiene practices, such as regularly washing hands and always sneezing into a tissue, to stem the spread of viruses.
