Yesterday, the Government introduced new guidance on whole household isolation in response to the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak:
|
If your child is self-isolating due to the Coronavirus, you may wish to use the following links to support their learning during this time.
Parents’ Evening appointments are cancelled this week.
All children will receive either a written Early Years report or a pupil profile, and where relevant a SEND support plan.
Children will no longer need to be collected at 2pm on Wednesday, please collect them at the end of the school day.
If you have any queries in relation to the pupil profile you have received or SEND plans, can you please ring school to speak to your child’s class teacher.
As I am sure you will appreciate, we are currently dealing with a complex and rapidly changing situation. My first priority will always be the health and safety of the pupils and staff in our school.
This is an entirely unprecedented situation and we are following official advice from the government and NHS.
On a practical level, please follow updates on our Facebook Page relating to the day to day running of the school. We will be updating this on a very regular basis.
Please can I assure you that, as always, your children are our primary focus and should you wish to discuss specifics relating to your child, please ring the office to speak to me.
Mrs Jackson
School is closed today Monday 24 February due to adverse weather conditions.
We are very proud of our pupils as they have just been re-awarded with the ‘Investing in Children’ award.
This award is a recognition of the different groups that we have in school and the work that those children do on a regular basis to give all pupils in school a voice and make positive change.
Well done to all pupils involved in our; School Council, Buddies, Green Leaders, Young Carers and Sports Leaders.
Below is our report, please take some time to read it.
Please find below the school dinner menu for Autumn/Winter 2019.
Durham County Council:

Although the Council regards the provision of a school crossing patrol service as an important contribution to the safety of children in County Durham, this provision is a permissive function rather than a statutory obligation of the council and it must be appreciated that parental responsibility is in no way diminished by the exercise of this service.
Therefore, until a new permanent patrol is appointed, we continue to remind parents & carers to exercise care when sending their children to school, remembering that children of the younger age group concerned are not normally capable of assessing traffic speed and distance, and may experience difficulty in crossing certain roads on their own.
If you are interested, or know of anyone else who would be interested in carrying out this worthwhile duty, please contact the Road Safety Team for an informal discussion on 03000 268168 or apply directly via the Council website: [closing date 07.10.2019].
