Weekly News – 27.01.2022

Covid restrictions

As you are no doubt aware government rules on Plan B Covid restrictions have been relaxed from today. However, as we have had a high number of cases in school and cases are reported to be still rising in the surrounding areas, we are continuing to follow local guidance from Warwickshire County Council in school. Please continue to wear a face covering and maintain social distancing between other families when dropping off and collecting your child/ren. Thank you.

Viewing children’s work in school

Last term, we informed you that we would offer an opportunity for you to come in to see your child’s work in the spring term. Due to the large number of coronavirus cases in school over the last 3 weeks we are not yet in a position to set a date for this.

Butterfly Tree fundraiser

On Friday 4 February, we are having a dress down day to raise money for the Butterfly Tree Foundation. The children can come to school in non-uniform in exchange for a donation to the Butterfly Tree Charity. Please follow the link below to make your donation:
