Talking to Young People….

Year 6 Parents and Carers,

We are aware of children using social media and sometimes they are being faced with challenges and needing to make decisions to keep themselves safe. It is important we talk to our children about how to manage this.

I have held an assembly this week with the children about their use of language online (and in person) and emphasised some key points to them. We have ongoing PSHE and Online Safety curriculums which educate the children about their relationships and safety.

The attached resource may be useful to you; a key part of the advice is to talk to your children before things happen rather than in response to events:

Best wishes

Missing Trousers!

We have a pupil from 3L who has the wrong trousers following PE last Wednesday. They are missing a pair of TU age 8 trousers with pockets on the side: please can everyone check to see if they have them.

The pupil went home in a pair of John Lewis aged 9 trousers: it may be that a swap is needed!

Please return the trousers to Mr Lawson if found.

Thank you.

COVID UPDATE FOR 5M: IMPORTANT

Parents and Carers

We are following advice from the Health Protection Hub:

Unfortunately we now have around 30% of your child’s class having tested positive for COVID-19 over the last 10 days.

We are doing what we can to reduce transmission within the class and more widely across the school, but on the advice of the Health Protection Hub we will require sight of negative LFD test results before the children can come into school each day. Please email your result to lynne.stanley@taw.org.uk before your child arrives for school: we will accept your forwarding your NHS confirmation of negative lateral flow or a photograph of the test kit with result.

This will extend up to and including Friday 21st January.

The efforts that have been made by parents/carers in terms of being vigilant for symptoms and testing the children are greatly appreciated. This next step is an attempt to identify any asymptomatic children that may be coming into school and who haven’t already been identified through testing.

Advice on obtaining test kits is available by following these links:

https://maps.test-and-trace.nhs.uk/

https://www.gov.uk/order-coronavirus-rapid-lateral-flow-tests

As always, please ensure you are vigilant for symptoms and if your child does display symptoms, please keep them off school and book them a COVID test using this link:

https://www.gov.uk/get-coronavirus-test

As general advice, if your child is a household contact of a positive case we would also ask that they take daily LFD tests for a period of 7 days from the date of exposure to the positive case.

We thank you all for your support and send our best wishes to all of those affected.

COVID GUIDANCE

Just some reminders:

*Children must not attend for school with COVID symptoms. These have been clarified by the Health Protection Hub: cough, high temperature, loss/change in taste/smell as well as the wider symptoms of COVID-19 – sore throat, headache, fatigue, muscle aches, blocked/runny nose, shortness of breath, diarrhoea and vomiting, and cold-like symptoms.

*IF children ARE symptomatic the Health Hub have confirmed they must still book a PCR test and must not return to school until a result has been received. Please advise the school.

*IF a child is asymptomatic they can use lateral flow tests: if they test positive on an LFT then they can commence isolation from the day they test positive. In this circumstance there is no need to book a PCR. Please advise the school.

*PLEASE NOTE FROM MONDAY:

People who are self-isolating with COVID-19 will have the option to reduce their isolation period after 5 full days if they test negative with a lateral flow device (LFD) test on both day 5 and day 6 and they do not have a temperature. For example, if they test negative on the morning of day 5 and the morning of day 6, they can return to their education or childcare setting immediately on day 6.

The first test must be taken no earlier than day 5 of the self-isolation period, and the second must be taken the following day. All test results should be reported to NHS Test and Trace.

If the result of either of their tests is positive, they should continue to self-isolate until they get negative results from two LFD tests on consecutive days or until they have completed 10 full days of self-isolation, whichever is earliest.

If you have queries about whether your child should attend for school we would ask that you contact us before bringing your child by calling 01952 386600 or emailing nicola.moody@taw.org.uk

Thank you for your support.
