• Year 6 trip to London

  Wed 08 Jun 2022

  On Wednesday, Year 6 went to London to visit the Houses of Parliament, and to watch the musical, Matilda at the Cambridge theatre in the West End. They got to take part in a workshop on Campaigning & Parliament as well as meeting our local MP, Taiwo Owatemi who answered our questions and shared why she decided to become an MP.  Lunch was spent at St James' park, and luckily the sun shone throughout! Our last event was to watch Matilda which is going to be the Year 6 play this year- the children got lots of tips! Everyone had a superb day and were tired, but happy on our return to school.🙂 

  Special thanks to Mrs McDevitt for organising and Mr Jordan, Miss Carey and Mr Dingley for all accompanying the children on the day.

  Over the Easter holidays, the children were invited to take part in a 'Growth' themed photo competition linked to British Science Week. Thank you for all of the wonderful and creative entries which made the task of judging very challenging.

Congratulations to Ansson in Y2 for his photographs of swan eggs and baby signets and to Olivia in Y4 for her collage of garden flowers which she has grown from bulbs.

                                                                                               Friday 3^rd September 2021

  Dear parents and carers,

   

  I do hope that you have all had an enjoyable summer break. As promised here are some reminders and information regarding the children (Years 1-6) returning to school on Tuesday 7^th September. Latest guidance from the Local Authority is that we proceed with caution despite many COVID restrictions ceasing across the country.

   

  • Staggered starts will continue but with a slight change: 8.30-8.45 for Years 1 and 2;

   8.45-9am for Years 3, 4, 5 and 6. Years 1-4 will enter the school site through the front gate and Years 5 & 6 through the back door by the church.

  • Collection points and times will remain the same as last academic year for now with a view to review things in October.  (See table)

   

  Year 1	2.45pm	Playground
  Year 2	2.45pm	Door by church
  Year 3	3pm	Playground
  Year 4	3pm	Door by church
  Year 5	3.15pm	Playground
  Year 6	3.15pm	Door by church

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

  • Parents are still encouraged to wear facemasks when dropping or collecting the children.

  • Nursery class start at 8.45 am and finish at 11.45am (or 2.45pm if 30 hours). Enter and leave via the bottom gate.
  • Reception start at 8.45am and finish at 3pm. Enter and leave via the bottom gate.
  • The Local Authority are still advising that there should be no visitors on site, therefore parents should email or phone if they require assistance for the time being.
  • Children will continue to attend school in their PE kits on PE days as this has worked brilliantly – no forgotten kits, lost property or time wasted changing clothes! J PLEASE ENSURE THAT THIS IS OUR ST OSBURG’S T-SHIRT and black shorts/bottoms.
  • All children should be in full school uniform (either summer or winter) with black shoes. Please ensure that items are named.
  • All children will access hot dinners in the dining room unless they bring packed lunch to school.
  • Children do not need to bring any other items in from home eg. Pencil cases etc. except we would like all pupils from Year 1-6 to bring in their own named water bottle. (non disposable).
  • Before and After School Club will be running as usual from Tuesday 7^th September.

   

  Please refer to the letter that was circulated to all parents from the Local Authority regarding attendance, testing and other COVID related advice.  

   

  However we still wish to remind parents and carers that in order to minimise the spread of infection,  the following procedures remain in place:

   

  • Parents should not send their child to school if they are ill, for whatever reason

   

  • The school will send any child who is symptomatic or generally unwell with the associated symptoms home and that they will not be permitted to attend school until a negative PCR test has been taken or 10 days from symptom onset has elapsed.

   

  We look forward to welcoming all the children into school next week and hope for a fantastic academic year for everyone.

   

  Yours Sincerely

   

  Mrs N Rynott

  Headteacher.
