• Update 2 re start of Spring term 2021

  Mon 04 Jan 2021

  Dear Parents,

   

  As you know from my previous correspondence, there have been continual been unfolding events over this weekend regarding the safe opening of Tier 4 primary schools. In light of the reduction in staffing we are experiencing, it is not operationally safe for us to open the school to all pupils. Therefore, St Peter’s School and Nurseries will only be open to pupils who are key workers or are vulnerable (have an EHCP or a social worker). We shall be in touch about these arrangements later today. We will switch to remote learning tomorrow morning, plans for which can be found on our school website. This limited opening is anticipated to last for nine school days (until full reopening on 18th January). However, we shall continually review the situation and open earlier if we possibly can. I completely understand that this may be inconvenient and appreciate how important it is for children to be in school learning with their peers. However, currently, we are not in a position to safely open to all pupils. I would like to thank you all for your patience during this time. The staff team are working very hard to ensure your child continues to safely access a full curriculum.

   

  Your sincerely,

  Tanya Morris

  A word about press ups :

  If your child cannot maintain a completely straight back and appears to be straining, please advise they come onto their knees. Keeping wrists in line with their shoulders so that the weight is going onto their arms. Dipping in the lower back can lead to injury. Wall press-ups are a great and safer alternative!

  A word about lunges :

  It is important to ensure that there is a straight line between knee and ankle when stepping forwards. Do not allow the knee to cave inwards.

  It is often easier to do a backwards lunge and holding on to the wall will help improve technique whilst learning

  Every child who can be safely cared for at home should be.

   

  If you do not have childcare at home and you meet the following criteria, you will be able to register with us to provide care from your child between 8am and 5.30pm:

   

  • Vulnerable children (you will already have received a call from us)
  • Children with EHCPs (you will already have received a call from us)

  Our amazing staff have stepped in to ensure this continues throughout the Easter break.

   

  This is for children from Rainbow Fish through to Year 6

   

  A hot meal will be provided for every child attending so no need to worry about sourcing food or cooking for your child after work.
