• COVID19 Update 15.06.2021

  Tue 15 Jun 2021

  The Public Health team at Hertfordshire County Council has asked us to share the following information with you.

   

  Firstly, we want to thank you for all you are doing to play your part and help protect your school community – you’re all doing an amazing job. As we head towards the end of the academic year, let’s work together to reduce the number of cases in our nurseries, schools and colleges and make sure less children will need to learn remotely. 

   

  We’re now at a crucial time in our fight against coronavirus. In line with yesterday’s Government announcement we’re asking everyone to not drop your guard just yet – Covid-19 is still here. 

   

  There are simple things you can do right now to continue to protect yourself, your family and your school community:

   

  Remember hands, face, space, fresh air – each school may have different rules around face coverings, but everyone aged over 11 should be wearing a face covering when in indoor venues. If you can still meet outside do

   

  Testing – students in year 7 and above are being provided with a free, regular supply of rapid tests and they should continue to take these twice a week. Parents and carers of children in nursery, school or college should also take regular rapid tests along with the rest of the community, by doing this we can all help to reduce the spread of the virus. You can find your nearest collection site or order online at www.hertfordshire.gov.uk/rapidtest

   

  Vaccination – please get your vaccine once you are invited to

   

  Please do not send children back into education if they are sick or feel unwell – be cautious.

   

  If you or your child/ren receive a positive result from a rapid test you must begin self-isolating immediately, not attend school and book a confirmatory PCR test.

   

  If you or your child/ren have symptoms (new, continuous cough, change or loss of taste or smell or a temperature) you must self-isolate immediately and book a PCR test at: https://www.gov.uk/get-coronavirus-test 

   

  If you need help to self-isolate contact HertsHelp for advice and practical help with things like getting food and medicine and accessing financial support. Call 0300 123 4044, email info@hertshelp.net or visit www.hertshelp.net

   

  We know none of this is easy, but if we throw our arms around schools to protect them now, we can all look forward to the summer holidays we’re hoping for. Thank you again for helping to keep yourselves and your community safe.

• DELAYED START OF TERM JAN 2021

  Fri 01 Jan 2021

  Dear Parents and Carers 

   

  I hope very much that you have had a peaceful and healthy Christmas holiday and on behalf of everyone at school we wish you all a very very happy new year that is so different and so much better than 2020 has been at times.   This has been a year that we will remember and one that we might like to forget.  

   

  Despite this, without question there have been some positives: I am so grateful to you, our families who have been patient and supportive throughout the pandemic, to my colleagues who have worked so hard and flexibly at what has been quite an uncertain and stressful time and of course to our children who have shown resilience,  made us smile and ultimately reminded us of why we do this job!

   

  I had hoped that we would be able to open to children on 5th January but, unfortunately, a number of positive COVID cases in our school and wider community were identified over the holiday period and, as a result,  we do not have the capacity to open safely.  

   

  As an alternative plan we will hold training days on Monday 4th and Tuesday 5th January (Monday was already an INSET day) and provide remote learning from Wednesday 6th - Friday 8th January 2021. The Tuesday INSET day will replace one that we had planned for later in the year.

   

  This is by no means the start of the year that we expected or wanted but I hope at least this arrangement will allow valuable  time for recuperation and opportunities to plan for the following weeks.  I really appreciate your quick responses to the recent survey I sent out and your views will be factored in to any decisions we make. 

   

  We will be in touch shortly to confirm arrangements for next week. 

   

  We look forward to working with you in the coming term

• SUMMER FAIR SUCCESS

  Thu 04 Jul 2019
  A big thank you to all of our families and friends who made the summer fair another amazing success. It was lovely to see the children all enjoying themselves on such a sunny day.  All of your efforts raised an approximate sum of £550 which we go towards outdoor equipment for the children.
