• IMPORTANT - Road Safety

  Dear Parents/Carers

   

  I am very concerned about the number of children and parents who are walking on the roads outside of school. The road  directly outside the school entrance (Rydall Place) is a very busy road unfortunately, and in particular when parents are dropping off and collecting children.

  WE NEED YOUR HELP!!!!

  To prevent accidents from happening please:

   

  Make sure that both YOU and YOUR CHILDREN walk on the footpaths and NOT on the road.

  Make sure that your children are being supervised at all times when they are outside of school - especially younger children please hold their hand!

  Please talk to your children about the importance of road safety.

  Watch these short video with your children to help them to understand how to cross the roads safely.

   

  KS 1 (age 3-6) Crossing Road - Kids Know Best!

   

  KS2 (age 7-12) Road Ready? - Expect the unexpected

   

  Fore more information about Road Safety please visit our website

   

  You may also have noticed that there is a Traffic Enforcement Officer from the council who is monitoring traffic and parking around school. You MUST NOT park on the yellow zig-zag lines outside of school AT ANY TIME - please observe the Highway Code - otherwise you may get a parking ticket cost £30! Parking Charge Notice (PCN).

  Dear Parents/Carers

   

  We hope that you have all had a lovely summer break and are looking forward to coming back to school and getting back into the school routine!

   

  We are really looking forward to welcoming your children back to school, for what we hope will be something more like 'normal' and that we can bring back some parts of the curriculum and extra curricular activities that we haven't been able to do under Covid rules. Things like swimming and the Lineham Farm Residential. Or, trips to the Meanwood Valley Farm and Middleton Woods, the seaside for paddling in the sea and eating ice-cream! Taking part in sporting events such as Football, Hockey, Basketball and Athletics...we feel that we have missed so much, but there's so much to look forward to this year!

   

  Whilst there are lots of Covid rule changes in the UK, as a school we feel that we would like to retain some of the measures we had in place. We are calling these 'Covid -Keeps' - either because they proved to be more efficient, sending emailed letters and information instead of paper for example, or because, we feel that we would like to continue monitoring the Covid situation locally and think that if we continue with the measures we put in place before the summer, we stand a better chance of being able to easily 'roll back' to previous plans so that we can effectively manage any future problems the virus may present.

   

  Considering we were really fortunate with the low number of 'burst bubbles' we had in the last academic year, (just THREE in the whole year!) we think we did a really good job of keeping everyone safe. So, we hope you agree that by keeping some of these measures in place we are less likely to have situations where we have to have children learning from home. Parents did a fantastic job during lockdown, but I've heard many of you have a new understanding of the teaching role and what it entails!

   

  I would be grateful if you could please read the latest advisory about the children in Reception and Years 1-6 coming back to school next week: Parent Advisory so that we can get the new academic year off to a good start.

   

  We are keeping the staggered start and end times to reduce the number of people in the school vicinity at any one time. We appreciate that some parents have more than one child to collect, but please bear with us and join the appropriate queues to drop off and collect your children so that we can get them safely inside school each morning and back to you as quickly as possible.
