This year our theme for book week will be ‘Books around’ the world’.
Nottinghamshire County Council and its partners across Education, Health and Social care would like to hear about your lived experiences as parents/carers of children and young people with Special Educational Needs and/or Disabilities (SEND) of SEND services and provision in Nottinghamshire.
Children's Mental Health Week is taking place on 7-13 February 2022. This year's theme is Growing Together. During this week, we will be encouraging children (and adults) to consider how they have grown, and how they can help others to grow.
The government have announced several changes already in 2022, so please read the information below carefully - do not hesitate to get in touch if you have any questions.
In addition to twice weekly testing, LFD Tests are now recommended for the following:

If possible, please ensure you have a good supply of LFD tests at home.
Since September 2021, the DfE have not recommended that it is necessary to keep children in consistent groups (‘bubbles’). As well as enabling flexibility in curriculum delivery, this means that practical, day to day, aspects of school life can go ahead without the need for extra staffing, avoiding any detrimental impact on the delivery of education.
However, the DfE have asked all schools to have contingency plans in place that would reduce mixing between different groups of staff and pupils. In our school, we have devised a ‘Green, Amber and Red’ contingency plan. This plan is progressive, allowing us to reduce mixing and manage rising cases of Covid-19 if and when they occur. This plan was used before Christmas when we saw an increase in local cases. Moving to Amber or Red is only done following consultation with health professionals at the DfE, in response to high numbers of confirmed cases.
We would ask all parents to ensure their child has access to a laptop, PC or tablet so they can access home learning if they are well enough during a period of self-isolation. It is very important that all children can access home learning, so please let us know if you have any difficulties accessing a device or the internet – we may be able to help. The government’s latest advice confirms that schools and families should be prepared for home learning in exceptional circumstances such as staff shortages.
Please see the attached document when considering if your child needs a PCR test.

The children have worked really hard this term to complete their stamp charts, so we will have a whole school reward day tomorrow (Friday 17th December) to say a huge well done!
