Dear Parents

I am currently working with senior colleagues on a comprehensive plan for the re-opening of all of our schools to some children. Parents/carers of children in Y1 will have been contacted on Monday 18th May to ask if they will send their child in should school be open after 1st June. Parents/carers of pupils in nursery, reception and year 6 will also receive a call this week asking the same.

The team at Birmingham Virtual School have released a useful document regarding children's mental health and wellbeing. This includes some practical advice and activities for parents to try with their child at home. In such uncertain times, we wanted to share this with you. Please remember that PAUSE are also offering support (the flyer for this has been shared via Twitter and our school newsletter) 

Take good care and stay safe, 

Mrs Middleton

Dear parents/carers,

Following the Prime Minister’s announcement on Sunday 10th May we will be working towards opening our schools to more pupils. Currently, we are waiting for additional information and guidance as to which children and how many, schools will be open to. I would like to assure you that the safety of our children will be our primary consideration when planning for greater numbers of children to attend.

As we enter Week 7 of this Coronavirus lockdown, we wanted to send a special message to all of our pupils. A huge thanks to Miss Gorringe for co-ordinating and creating this video. We hope you enjoy it! Stay home, stay safe. #TeamSP

We are pleased to share the following letter with you regarding a daily Phonics lesson offer for EYFS to Year 2. This has been set up by the Department for Education and begins on Monday 27th April. It is accessible via the YouTube channel linked here.

We hope you find this resource useful in your continuing home learning journey.

During this period of school closure, we are pleased to be able to continue to offer eligible parents and pupils access to free school meals by supplying supermarket eGift cards, that can be spent locally to you.

In previous weeks, we have provided eligible parents and pupils with a £15 eCode per week. During the week commencing 27th April, eligible pupils will be issued with a £60 eCode, the equivalent of £15 per week for four weeks.

Advice and support is available for children with physical difficulties who are supported by the Physical Difficulties Support Service (Sandra Paddock or Siobhan O'Donnell). Please see the flyer below
