End of term events next week and information for the start of term in January

Dear Parents/ Carers,

 

Next week is the last week at school before the Christmas holidays. There are a number of events planned - see info below.

 

Unfortunately, I am going to have to make the decision that the assemblies we have planned for next week will now have to move online. This is because of the concerns around rising COVID cases and the impact of the new Omicron variant. We are following advice from the DfE and from the local Public Health team which suggests reducing contacts where possible and avoiding large gatherings where there is poor ventilation. As a result, it wouldn't seem sensible to gather children, staff and parents in the halls for assemblies at this time.

 

We will record the Celebration assemblies and the Y2 Christmas assembly and share them online with parents instead.

 

Here are some important dates coming up for you:

• Monday 13th December at 2.15pm - EYFS/ KS1 Celebration Assembly (shared online after)
• Tuesday 14th December at 2.15pm - KS2 Celebration Assembly (shared online after)
• Thursday 16th December - Christmas Jumper Day - Please don't buy a new Christmas jumper for this - why not decorate an old jumper instead and save money to donate to the Save The Children charity instead?
• Thursday 16th December PM - Christmas parties
• Friday 17th December 9.00am - Y2 Christmas assembly (shared online after)
• Friday 17th December - School CLOSES at 1.00pm. All children will be given lunch before they leave

 

• Tuesday 4th January 2022 - Teacher training day - School CLOSED to pupils
• Wednesday 5th January 2022 - School REOPENS for all children

 

Thank you,

 

Mr Beale
