15 Jun Letter from Mrs Winter
Dear Parents/Carers
School has been open for nearly two weeks in its current form and I would like to share with you how proud we are of our year 6 and key worker pupils who have attended school so far. Our children have accepted the situation and adhered to the new safety rules in school without any fuss. Mornings are spent completing their online work and afternoons are engaged in more creative endeavours.
I would also like to thank parents and carers who are following the guidelines to the letter so that we can operate our school as safely as possible.
This morning Mrs Kemp shared with me a message from a Year 8 pupil who had not quite understood the maths task set for that day. The pupils’ message read
” Hi Mrs Kemp, if I have another go at today’s maths would you be able to have another look at it when I have finished?”
This message sums up the incredible effort the majority of our pupils are applying to their home learning. Furthermore, Mrs Stephenson has also shared with me the amazing descriptive writing on dystopian fiction her pupils have sent in today. The majority of our pupils have worked diligently throughout this lockdown period and we should all be very proud of them.
We have noticed recently that some of our home learning children are not completing their work or are sending work that is well below their ability. This is the minority of students however could we ask that adults do check their work is both complete and is a suitable reflection of their ability. This quick check will ensure your child’s attainment is not compromised and that they will adapt to the routines of school life on their return in the near future.
Once again thank you for your support and please get in touch if you have any queries.
Many thanks
Susan Winter
Headteacher
