Have a lovely half term break! We look forward to seeing you all again on Monday 7th June.

Contact Tracing during Half Term

Parents and carers only need to inform the school of a positive case where symptoms developed within 48 hours of being in school. The school would then advise close contacts to self isolate via email.

If children develop symptoms after 48 hours you are not required to inform the school but would follow the NHS guidance in regards to isolation.

Where pupils need to self-isolate due to contact with a positive case during the holiday, school does not need to be informed about this until the first day of the 2nd half of the Summer term.

Visit from Western House Academy

On Monday we were delighted to welcome senior leaders from Western House Academy to share our approach to using technology for learning across the curriculum. They worked with teachers, digital leaders and our Year 5 pupils.
