Hello everyone
As we come to the end of a very challenging few weeks, I would like to say a very heartfelt thank you to each and every one of you – pupils, parents and staff. Your support has been amazing!

Thank you from Nursery
We used part of the funds raised from our Christmas gift shop to purchase some new play food for nursery. The children and staff have asked me to say THANK YOU on their behalf to everyone who bought a gift and helped to raise these funds. 🙂
Message from Shropshire Council – funding available to help our most vulnerable residents
If someone is told by NHS Test and Trace Service to stay at home and self-isolate, they may be able to get a £500 Test and Trace Support Payment. For the qualifying conditions and to apply, see here: https://www.shropshire.gov.uk/benefits/what-help-can-i-claim-from-the-council/covid-test-and-trace-support-payments/
Sometimes, this may not be enough to address all of the problems and not everyone will qualify so whether eligible for this or not, we urge people to think about applying for our other discretionary help as well.
For our more vulnerable households, either affected financially by Covid or just struggling to meet essential bills over lockdown and over winter, we have other Hardship Funds that can help with a wide range of need. These grants are open to anyone in difficulty, it is not necessary for benefits to be in payment.
We want to get this money to those Shropshire householders, especially families with children, who are struggling financially. It is easy to apply over the phone (a paper form is available on request), an adviser will complete the paperwork and a specialist will look to see how we can help and if any further information is needed.
So if you, or someone you know, is having difficulty meeting essential outgoings, call us on 0345 678 9078.
People can also access these grants and a range of other Covid related support through our web pages here: https://www.shropshire.gov.uk/coronavirus/information-for-the-public/ or via our Covid helpline on 0345 678 9028.
And finally…
Please stay safe and look after yourselves.
Love Mrs Johnson x
