Weekly update - 20.01.21

Thank you for all the messages of support and the feedback we have had this week from families. All of the staff really appreciate it.

On line learning

Thank you for your feedback on our on line learning offer. We have some whole school poetry and art projects coming up soon and also are in the process of organising a virtual parents and carers coffee morning. Most of the online learning is running smoothly.

Key worker and vulnerable children provision in school

We review this provision on a weekly basis and have amended it this week. We are at capacity in the younger year groups and in key stage 2. Capacity is determined by the health and safety risk assessment. This is in line with guidance from Hackney Education. From Monday staff will be using lateral flow tests several times a week, on a voluntary basis, to check that they are not covid positive and asymptomatic. So far we have been very lucky that we have not had to close any groups. As stated before, we may have to close bubbles if we have a high rate of staff absence.

Free School Meal vouchers

These vouchers are now up and running and eligible families have been contacted. If you need any support with these, please do ask the school office – they will be happy to help. We also have food hampers which have been funded by UBS for any families who would like weekly help with food supplies. Again, please let us know if you would like help with this.

Extra data and devices

If you need help with data for your child’s on line learning or a device, such as a laptop, please do let us know. The government has funded extra data and we have a number of laptops we can loan to you during this period. We have been issuing laptops as quickly as we can. We need to wait for a technician from Hackney Education to load software before we can send them out and this has caused a slight delay. 

Best wishes,

Caroline
