Further information about COVID-19 and current measures being taken in school has been sent out to parents by letter today (Monday 16th)  following on from an initial letter on Friday 13th.

The key message at present is that if anyone has symptoms of a new, continuous cough, or high temperature, they should not be in school, and should stay at home for a period of seven days from the onset of the cough or temperature.

The trip to Liverpool Cathedral for Year 2, and the Children's University ceremony, have both been postponed.

If you wish to seek further guidance, the government helpline can be found on the 'Information for Parents' tab on this website under 'Infection Control'.

Revision Books, by Mr Weston

Date: 8th Nov 2018 @ 3:04pm

Many thanks to all parents who attended Parents' Evening yesterday. Hopefully, the meeting proved useful. Certainly for me, it's fantastic to know that we have such supportive parents and that I know we're all pulling in the same direction for the benefit of our children.

A couple of parents asked about revision books. I did show a book by the publisher 'Haslam & Hall' which is a small revision guide for both Maths and English (the Maths is probably the more useful of the two), and costs £2 from their website (or £3.99 for a Kindle version on Amazon). Also, we will be buying revision workbooks for the children, which parents can then purchase from us. Traditionally, this has happened early in the Spring term. I will let you know as soon as we have these ready as I know some of you are keen to get your hands on them already!
