Keep up to date with all the latest news happening in school at the moment.
Further to the latest guidelines from the Dfe we are cancelling ALL non-essential school activities. This includes music lessons, swimming, judo and ALL after school clubs (with the exception of out of hours) until further notice.
We will also be cancelling the spring concert and sing into spring. We appreciate the disappointment this may cause for the children but we need to adhere to the advice we are given and protect the school’s students, staff and families.
Year 2 and 6 SATS revision classes are, for the time being, continuing.
In addition to this following the governments updated advice yesterday regarding non-essential contact, we have decided that, should you need to speak to a member of school staff, you should contact the school office to make a telephone appointment with the relevant staff member. This includes pending parent’s evenings, which will be either a telephone appointment or written report.
We are currently awaiting advice regarding the upcoming school trips and will advise you as soon as we have confirmation.
We apologise for any inconvenience this causes and thank you for your understanding and ongoing support.
Kind regards,
School Office
Dear Parents/Carers,
Due to the current situation with covid-19, we have taken the decision to change how the Mothers’ Day lunch will take place. All mums that had arranged to come in and have picnic lunch with their children, will now be asked to collect their child/children and take them home for lunch. They can then either be returned back for the afternoon lessons or spend the afternoon with Mum.
Reception and KS1 children to be collected from classroom doors between 11.45-12.00 midday.
KS2 children to be collected from the 3 and 4 playground at midday.
Any lunches ordered for the picnic from the Kitchen, will be given to your child to take home.
If you haven’t arranged to come in for the mother’s day picnic, but wish to collect your child and take them for lunch, please just collect at the times shown above and your child will be signed out by the class teacher.
May we apologise for any inconvenience this may cause, but with the ever changing information we are receiving, we have had to make this very hard decision.
Thank you for your continued support.
Kind regards
School Office
Dear Parent/Carer,
Following the updated advice from Public Health England released today, we are advising parents/carers not to send their child into school if they have these symptoms:
· a new continuous cough, and/or high temperature.
The advice is that anyone with these symptoms should stay at home and not leave their house for 7 days from when their symptoms started.
The full advice can be found here:
https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/covid-19-stay-at-home-guidance/stay-at-home-guidance-for-people-with-confirmed-or-possible-coronavirus-covid-19-infection
Please can you inform the School via phone call or email if you will be keeping your child off for this reason. Thank you for your understanding and your on-going support.
Yours sincerely,
Mrs J. Kershaw
Head Teacher
Weddington Primary School
Dear Parent/Carer,
We recognise that many students and parents may be concerned about the possible impact of coronavirus; we appreciate that this is a particularly anxious time for students in Year 2 and 6 preparing for SATS. We want to reassure you that we are continuing to follow the advice provided by Public Health England and the Department for Education. We are emphasising to the students the need to remain calm.
Students, staff and visitors are being reminded about the importance of good hygiene and washing hands regularly. We also ask parents to remind your son/daughter to wash hands more often, especially:
- When they arrive at school or home
- After coughs and sneezes
- Before handling food
We would ask that parents continue to monitor the guidance provided by the Department of Health and Social Care and Public Health England with regard to dealing with symptoms and travel. This can be found at: https://www.gov.uk/government/topical-events/coronavirus-covid-19-uk-government-response . There is a public helpline 0800 0468687 and an email line (DfE.coronavirushelpline@education.gov.uk ). These are open from 8am to 6pm (Monday to Friday).
Parents’ Evenings this week will go ahead as planned. We will be following hygiene advice and therefore asking that teachers don’t shake hands with parents/carers.
As a precaution, we are discussing any measures we need to consider putting in place to ensure that our planned school educational visits can go ahead with minimal risk. We will provide updates in due course.
Finally, we are also making plans in the event that the School has to close, whether for a short-term closure for 1-2 days (for example, in the event of the need to carry out a deep clean of our site) or for a longer closure in the event that the Government instructs all schools to close. We will inform you about arrangements in due course, if the need arises.
Thank you for your ongoing support with regard to this matter. It is greatly appreciated.
Yours sincerely
Mrs J. Kershaw
Head Teacher
Weddington Primary School
