Please be aware that we continue to experience cases, confirmed and suspected of Covid-19 amongst the pupils in School.

If your child experiences any of the symptoms below, we will need the child to complete a PCR test. Please keep your child at home until they receive the result.

The main symptoms of COVID-19 are:

• a high temperature
• a new, continuous cough – this means coughing a lot, for more than an hour, or 3 or more coughing episodes in 24 hours
• a loss or change to sense of smell or taste – this means they cannot smell or taste anything, or things smell or taste different to normal

We have a total of eleven pupils in the Year 6 bubble who have tested positive for Covid 19. We hope those children are feeling ok and we wish them a speedy recovery.

Year 6s who have tested negative can return to school on Monday. If you have not yet tested your child it is vital that you do before they return to school on Monday.

If your child is one of the positive cases you must follow your own return date (end of isolation) this may not be the 12th. Isolation is ten days from the onset of the symptoms or ten days from the positive test if you have no symptoms.

If you are unsure if your child can return, please contact the office.

It is vital that we all follow the rules to keep everyone in school safe.

Fingers crossed we can now make it to the end of term with no more bubble closures!

Thank you for working with us during this difficult time we appreciate it is not easy and we thank you for your co-operation.

As you are all aware we have two bubbles shut in school currently. We are trying our best to maintain everyone’s safety in school and we thank parents/carers for the co-operation so far.

We are reminding you that we require your child to get a PCR Covid test if they have any of the following symptoms:

High Temperature

Persistent Cough

Loss of taste or smell

We also require your child to get a PCR test if they have any of the symptoms below:

Headache

Aches and Pains

Feeling tired for no reason

Sore Throat 

Runny Nose

Sneezing

Stomach ache

*These extra symptoms are from Shropshire Council and are agreed by Governors

We have now seven children who have tested positive in the Year 6 closed bubble.

We thank all the Parents/Carers who have got their child tested and to those who have notified us of the positive results.

We strongly advise you get your child tested if you haven’t done so already.

Stay safe all.

A reminder if your child is self isolating and we have not closed down the class bubble (your child is isolating due to close contact with a positive case) It is your responsibility to contact the school office to request your Free School Meal Voucher. You must do this on your child’s first day of absence.

Thank you.

We have issued vouchers now for FSM pupils. If you have not received information you must contact us by 3.15pm 06.07.21

Many thanks.

We apologies for the short notice with regards to the year 5 bubble closure this morning. However, this was unfortunately out of our control. Public Health contacted us as early as possible and we followed their advice.

We have been given information over the weekend from parents and Public Health (based on this information) have advised that it would be sensible with the current situation in school to close the year five bubble.

If this situation changes it maybe possible for the Year 5 bubble to return to school. We will of course update you as soon as possible when we find out further information.

The Class Teachers will be in touch with remote learning information as soon as possible.

We will also be in touch with Free School Meal parents/carers as soon as possible.

Thank you for your co-operation.

If you have any queries, please do not hesitate to contact the school office.

Stay At Home Guidance

We have today had to close our year 6 bubble due to a child in the class testing positive.

We have notified the Department of Education and followed their guidance.

All children and staff who have had close contact with the child who has tested positive have been contacted and sent home to isolate for ten days.

*Year 6 Parents*

We have still not received the information from the public health that we need to send you. We will forward this on as soon as we receive it.

If you have any queries, please do not hesitate to contact the school office.

Mr Wilmot will be in touch as soon as possible with work for the children.

Please note that other members of your household can continue with their normal activities, provided your child does not develop symptoms within the self-isolation period.

Providing your child does not develop any symptoms they can return to school on Monday 12th July.

Thank you for your patience and understanding.
