• COVID-19 Update

  Mon 16 Mar 2020

  Dear Parents,

  
  In accordance with government advice, if you or a member of your household has Coronavirus symptoms (high temperature and / or dry persistent cough) please self-isolate for 14 days.
  This is applicable to any pupils who may have already begun the self isolation process when the recommendation was 7 days.

• COVID-19

  Mon 16 Mar 2020

  Dear Parents,

  
  I feel that it is appropriate given recent developments both nationally and locally to write to you specifically about our ongoing approach to the international spread of the Coronavirus, Covid19.
  We continue to follow all the appropriate guidelines from Public Health England and the guidance issued by the Department of Education with regard to how schools should handle the current situation. The guidance is updated daily.
  We do not currently have any cases of Covid19 within school and as such we remain open as per the guidance and the risk to any children or staff is classed as low. We are conscious of the potential for the spread of the virus between pupils and as a result we have taken the decision to suspend all inter-school activities such as visits to other schools until after the Easter break. This means the visit to Burnham Grammar and the Langley Grammar visit will not go ahead next week. We have also made the decision to cancel the Year Five visit to Cippenham Church and the Reception class trip to the Look Out Centre.
  In addition, we would highlight the Government guidance issued which is clear that children must not come into school for 7 days from the point at which they first show any sign of one or more of the following symptoms:
  
  a) Fever
  b) Dry cough
  c) Shortness of breath

  
  If any of these symptoms are present or you are worried in any way that you or your child may have contracted coronavirus, you should self-isolate. If you have contacted 111, please then notify the school about the action you have been asked to take.
  
  Hygiene of everyone attending school is something we all need to remain mindful of. Pupils are directed to wash their hands several times a day. The daily cleaning routine in the school ensures that high contact areas, such as door handles, are disinfected regularly.
  We will inform all parents immediately if and when the situation changes. In the event of an enforced school closure, we shall endeavour to ensure your child has appropriate work to complete.
  I believe that in these unprecedented times communication is key and can assure you that we will notify you of any additional information or measures we are taking as soon as possible.
  Many thanks for your ongoing support.
  Yours sincerely
  
  
  Mrs Tanya Morris
  Headteacher

• Advice to Parents Regarding the Momo Challenge

  Thu 28 Feb 2019

  You may be aware of a meme making its way across the internet and messaging platforms called the ‘Momo Challenge’. With news outlets using words such as ‘suicide’ and ‘self-harm’ it’s only normal for parents to feel concerned. Momo is a fictitious character of a creepy looking doll-like figure which is used to appear in social media, videos and online games, encouraging children to add a contact on WhatsApp and is then sent a series of dares or challenges to complete. The dares or challenges usually consist of doing unkind things to themselves or to other people. If your child receives a message like this they must not forward it to anyone or attempt to complete any of these challenges and to tell a trusted adult straight away. We will be discussing this in our Computing lesson however we would also like your support.

   

  Keep checking your child’s online communication (smart phone, tablet and online gaming platforms e.t.c.) to ensure appropriate action is taken if they receive anything of this nature. Block the contact who has sent the message and then report and delete the message. If it appears online via social media or online video please reiterate that Momo is not real and to ignore and block any messages they have read and report it to the website. Encourage your child to talk to you if they see anything online that concerns them and to not succumb to peer pressure and do anything they are not comfortable with online or offline.

   

  As with any online viral trend it’s difficult to predict when they begin and how long they last therefore it is essential you continue monitoring your child’s online activity.
