* LATEST UPDATE – May half term *

Hello everyone,

I hope you are all still keeping safe and well.

To allow staff to prepare for a phased return for some year groups, school will not be open over the half term period so there will be no provision for Key Workers’ children. Please see a letter below with more detail.

May half term

We will be sending out more information later this week, explaining our current plans for a phased return, so please keep an eye on the website / your emails.

Thank you for your continued support.

Update 15th May 2020

Dear families

Firstly, I just want to say thank you for the swift response to our parent survey for those with children in Nursery, Reception, Year 1 and Year 6. We appreciate and fully understand the comments and concerns raised and these will be considered as part of our planning for a phased re-opening.

At present, we are awaiting further information from the Local Authority who in turn are awaiting clarification on a range of issues from the Department for Education. As soon as we have more information, we will let you know which groups of children we are able to invite back into school first and when this will start to take place. In the meantime, we thank you for your patience and understanding.

Department For Education information for parents

Finally, thank you for all the photos you have been sending through to class teachers. It is so lovely to see what children are doing and know that you are all safe. I’ve got a photo to share with you this week. Yesterday morning Coco starting barking crazily outside and, when we looked through the window, this is what we saw…how beautiful!

We have no idea how they got into our garden or where they came from!

Take care

URGENT SURVEY for Nursery, Reception, Year 1 and Year 6

We now have more guidance about what we will be expected to do from June 1st to enable a phased return for pupils to school. We know that we have been asked to open the school for Nursery, Reception, Year one and Year 6 to begin with but these year groups will not all start together on 1st June – these children may well have to attend some days and not others to allow us to keep numbers low.
As you can imagine, we have significant work to do regarding logistics, timetabling, staffing and risk assessments. Some of these measures will include: small numbers of children in classes, staggered start and finish times, using different members of staff and classrooms to space the children out. Children of key workers will still be cared for in school alongside these year groups.

We urgently need to know whether parents of Nursery, Reception, Year 1 and Year 6 intend to send their children back to school from 1st June or whether they feel it is unsafe to do so due to circumstances at home or school. Please complete the survey below to help us in our planning.

Phased reopening survey

Your responses, and the guidance we are awaiting from Shropshire Council, will support us in making a firmer plan and we will share this with you as soon as we can. Thank you for your support.

Important News – 11.05.20

Good afternoon everyone,

Following the Prime Minister’s announcement on Sunday evening, we are sure that you have many questions, as we do, that you would like clarifying.

We have not yet received any information to support us with this new plan to start a phased return for children in some year groups. We expect to receive guidance from the Department for Education and the Local Authority very soon.

Please be assured that the safety of our children, staff and school community is our key priority. We will only begin a phased return when we feel it is safe to do so and following an extensive risk assessment process.

As always, we will keep you updated but, for now, please do not worry. We will continue to provide home learning for our children, keep in contact with you and continue to support each other during these difficult and uncertain times.

In the meantime, we will continue to provide childcare provision for our key workers at Bicton.

Take care

Mrs Johnson and staff
