• The Last Day of Term

  Fri 17 Dec 2021

  We have had the most wonderful end to the term. The day started with our amazing musicians performing to you, our families and has ended with parties and treats.

   

  We thank you all for your support this term and look forward to welcoming you back on Tuesday 4th January.

   

  I remain ever hopeful that we will return to school with the arrangements that are currently in place, but should there be any changes announced by the government, I will communicate via the website and the school app. 

   

  Happy Christmas 

  

• Carols Round the Tree

  Thu 16 Dec 2021

  We are thrilled that so many children want to perform in groups or as soloists this year! We are going to set this up under the pre-school canopy to ensure you have a good view of them. 

   

  Send your children into school as normal at 8.40am, and then remain on the playground if you are staying for the performance. I will lock the gates to make sure the site is secure, at the usual time of 8.50am. Anyone arriving after this time will need to sign their children in via the office as is  the normal routine. We will bring the first group outside to perform as soon as we have gathered them together. 

   

  Wrap up warm and feel free to bring a thermos/ lidded cup of coffee or tea as we will not be serving refreshments. 

   

  This is the running order: 

  Singing Club Recorders Sophie – Concert Bugise Sophie and Isabel – Tango Sophie, Isabel and Eleanor – Tzena Eva, Caitlin and Sophie – Old MacDonald Thomas, Katelyn and Mrs Brown – Tallis Canon Class 1 – When Santa Got Stuck and Please Don’t Send me to Bed!

• Notts Winterfest - For Children in Receipt of Free School Meals

  During the Easter and summer holidays Nottinghamshire County Council delivered the Department for Education Holiday Activities and Food (HAF) Programme. 

  During this time, we’ve delivered healthy food and enriching activities to over 12,000 children and young people, across thousands of sessions with District and Borough partners, schools, community partners, our Youth Service, Integrated Childrens Disability Service, Childrens Centre Service and Notts Outdoors.

  Feedback from parents and young people:

  • “I love it loads and loads here. I get to play with new kids and ones I already know.”
  • “I love summer school. I love how many different activities there are for us to do. I loved the healthy food tasting and when we tried the vegetables that we picked ourselves at the allotment.”
  • “Thanks again for everything you are doing for the community and thank you to the genuinely caring people that volunteer/ work at the centres, they are amazing”.

  Winter Holidays 2021

  For the Winter holiday, we will be delivering further provision, giving your children and young people the opportunity to enjoy: 

  • One meal during each session
  • Enjoyable activities - these vary from provider to provider, but will all include creative, enriching and physical activities

• Changes to Covid-19 Contact Measures

  Tue 14 Dec 2021

  From today - Tuesday 14 December, a new national approach to daily testing for contacts of COVID-19 is being introduced (including until the end of this term). All adults who are fully vaccinated and children aged 5 to 18 years and 6 months, identified as a contact of someone with COVID-19 – whether Omicron or not – should take a lateral flow device (LFD) test every day for 7 days instead of self-isolating. Daily testing by close contacts will help to slow the spread of COVID-19.

  Daily testing for contacts of COVID-19 will help protect education settings by reducing transmission and will also help keep pupils in face-to-face education.

   

  Once notified by NHS Test and Trace as a close contact, all eligible staff, pupils and students should take an LFD each day for 7 days and report the results through the Online Reporting System and to their setting. If they test negative, they can continue to attend their education setting. Outside of the education setting, they should continue to follow the advice set out in the Sunday 12 December press release. This approach should also be adopted over the winter break and on return in January.

   

  If they test positive, they should self-isolate and order a PCR test to confirm the result. If the PCR is positive, they must self-isolate for 10 days. If the PCR test is negative, they no longer need to self-isolate but should continue to carry out the remainder of the daily tests, and only need to isolate if it is positive.

   

  For primary aged children LFD test kits are available through the usual routes (community test sites, local pharmacies or online).

   

  Children under five years old do not need to take part in daily testing for contacts of COVID-19 and do not need to isolate.

   

  Anyone over the age of 18 years and 6 months who is not vaccinated, must isolate in line with government guidelines if they are a close contact of a positive case.

• The Friary Winter Appeal

  Tue 07 Dec 2021

  As I huddle in my coat and warm layers against the winter wind, it always makes me thing how horrific it must be to be homeless in these conditions. The Friary are running several appeals this winter. Please take a look and see if you can support this worthy cause.
