You made it to half term!

Thank you to everyone – staff and families – for getting through a challenging first six weeks of 2021. Whilst we aren’t out of lockdown yet, at least the half term break is a chance to relax and regroup. Parents and carers, please see a video message from Mr Gray to you at https://youtu.be/gSRRERWsqdY

Food and Food Vouchers

Families who receive free school meals will have had their half term vouchers by email already and we were really pleased to be able to offer free bags of shopping to families earlier today.

Nottingham City Council has more vouchers available too. Not everyone will be eligible, but do check https://www.nottinghamcity.gov.uk/coronavirus-covid-19/covid-winter-grant-scheme/ to see if you are entitled to claim.

22nd February

On Monday 22nd, we will be back to the SAME school arrangements. If your child has been learning on seesaw, they will still be on seesaw. If your child has been given a lockdown school place, they will still be going to school (including those from Year 6 who have been in self-isolation due to bubble closure).

Emails from school

We have heard that school emails often go to your junk or spam folders. We can’t control that so if you are expecting a reply email from school, please do check these folders. You can make sure our emails always go to your inbox by marking any school email as “not junk” or “not spam”.

Stay safe (remember the lockdown rules!) and have a good week away from school work.
