Friday update
Fri 16 Jul 2021Happy Friday all,
I hope you have all had a good week. It has been a lovely week here at school with the start of the end of year celebrations well under way.
I am hoping you have all received a carnival letter from the PTA -either in your child's book bag or by email for our new starters. The carnival is on the 18th September and as a school we love to take part. If you are able to come along it really is a lovely event and we like to go all out to take part in the parade. If you return your slips we will then allocate block colours for the children to wear -we're making a rainbow amongst other things.
Do check out your child's new class page for the meet the teacher videos. We will be having one in school in September, restrictions permitting.
Every year the school is required to take 5 INSET days for staff continuing professional development.
The INSET days for next year have been set as:
Wednesday 1st September
Monday 1st November
Monday 28th February
Friday 27th May
Friday 8th July
There is also an extra day allocated for the Jubilee on Monday 6th June when school will be closed.
These can also be found on the calendar.
I have posted a link below which is about supporting your child when working from home. Although I am hoping that this will be redundant now ( it has only just been published) it has some useful ideas about creating a space, adjusting fonts and screen colours and best positioning to support posture. I thought it might be useful regardless of lockdowns.
As we head in to our final week we are continuing to follow previous guidance and are really hopeful that we will all head into the summer holidays without any more lock downs. Thank you for your support with this.
Have a lovely weekend

Friday update
Fri 09 Jul 2021Good afternoon all,
I would like to start with a big thank you to the PTA for supplying us with a portable sound system which we have been able to use today and are looking forward to using for many events in the coming year. Again supporting all the children.
We have been informed by catering that they are looking for relief staff in the kitchen. If anyone is interested look on the Derbyshire County Council website in the jobs' section.
Following the recent announcement and checking the guidance we will continue to stay in our bubbles till the end of term. As some of you may be aware we have had to close a bubble for the first time this week in a long time and we really would like all our children to go home for the summer holidays without having to isolate. This is one measure we can continue to take to reduce any potential spread.
We are planning to revert fully in September to 'normal' class organisation and start and finish times.
Miss Martin has put some information under the THRIVE tab with summer activities. These are really helpful to support you and your children so do take a look.
Prospectus
I have updated the prospectus and put it on the website for parent's information.
Although it was different the children all enjoyed their Sport's day and showed good sportsmanship. We hope that next year we will all be together again!
Have a good weekend, hopefully the sun will shine and a special something will be coming home!
