• Year 6 Covid Update - 17Jan22

  Mon 17 Jan 2022

  We continue to experience a number of cases of COVID-19 within Year 6 and are continuing to monitor the situation closely with Luton Public Health.

   

  Our school remains open and your child should continue to attend as normal, if they remain well.

   

  As you know, we already have a number of control measures in place in school, including:

  • year group bubbles not mixing [indoors or outdoors];
  • increased ventilation in classrooms and children encouraged to wash their hands regularly; 
  • the school informing parents / carers when there is a positive case in school; 
  • staff wearing masks when moving around the school and testing at least twice a week;
  • parents / carers one-way system and encouraged to wear masks;
  • limited visitors in school (who must wear a face covering). 

   

  We encourage all Year 6 children to do two things:

   

  1) Take a lateral flow test ASAP, so that we can identify any more cases. 

   

  2) Keep a safe distance from other children on the way to and from school. It is recognised that younger children come to school with a parent / carer who ensures that they keep a safe distance; many of the older children do not have an adult there to remind or regulate them.  

   

  Hopefully, this will find any remaining cases and will stop the spread. 

   

   

  If cases continue to rise in Year 6, we are advised that it might be necessary for Year 6 to: 

  • return to "class" bubbles (which will mean a short-term end to extra-curricular clubs, teams and will impact on Early Birds / Night Owls),
  • have a different start / finish time for a short period, or
  • return to remote learning for a short period (worst case scenario). 

• Homework Expectations

  Wed 05 Jan 2022

  Homework is used to support and embed the knowledge, skills and language children have developed in school and to allow parents / carers to play an active role in their child’s learning.

   

  We expect all children to complete their homework each week. 

   

  In line with the Home School Agreement, we expect all parents / carers to ensure that homework is completed each week, and to support their child (if required).

   

  The parents / carers of every child who completes their homework (and wears the correct uniform, has the correct equipment in school and shows 'good' behaviour all week) receives a "green", well done message each week. This information is also used on children's reports and any transition forms for children applying to another school.  

   

  Please refer to the homework page on the school website for specific information about your child's homework expectations.
