This half term, the children have been celebrating Roald Dahl! In their classes, they have read a chosen book and completed writing activities. Their work has then been turned into fabulous displays! Thanks to our staff, our school hall is bright and cheerful!
Well done! ⭐️📚📖⭐️
REMINDER! 👻🎃👻🎃
🎃 Tomorrow is our Halloween day in school! Children are able to dress up in their favourite costumes but remember, no masks or accessories but children can have their faces painted if they wish.
🎃 Children must wear suitable outdoor clothing and footwear as they will be outdoors during playtime and lunchtime.
🎃 The children will also have a Halloween themed lunch!
🎃👻🎃👻🎃👻
EXCITING NEWS! – The children have been asked by Sainsbury’s (Stanhope Road) to take part in a Halloween drawing event. The children have completed drawings which will be displayed in store over half term, so pop in and see if you can spot your drawing!
All children who have completed a drawing will be given some sweets provided by Sainsbury’s, after half term.
Reception class starting times
After half term the Reception gate will open at 8.55am.
Due to Covid regulations and following Public Health advice we are unable to allow visitors into school. Therefore, unfortunately parents and carers will be unable to request their children use the toilet facilities before the Reception gate is open.
I am aware that this may cause a few issues in the morning but we hope you understand and support the situation we are in. Hopefully the earlier start time will help with any issues.
Thank you
SPORTSHALL ATHLETICS SCHOOL GAMES PENTATHLON
Key Stage 2 have really enjoyed participating in the South Tyneside School Sport Network and Sportshall Athletics School Games Pentathlon . We have competed in the Chest Push, Shuttle Run, Standing Long Jump, Speed Bounce and Vertical Jump.
These results were converted into individual points and the children awarded gold, silver, bronze or step 1-10 🥇🥈🥉
The children gave their all and we’re delighted with their certificates.
The results will be shared with South Tyneside and then Nationally so we will eagerly await to see where Stanhope rank 💛💚
Dear Parent and Carers,
You will probably be aware that many school settings have been advised to close to particular ‘bubbles’ or year groups as they have been told to isolate. For the last few weeks we have managed here at Stanhope Primary, to run to capacity, however there may be a time in the very near future when we may have to close to a year group or year groups.
Unfortunately, a closure of this type will be at very short notice. You will be notified of a closure via our website, Facebook page, as well as our text messaging service.
We will all do our best to remain open however the safety of our children and staff is paramount.
Thank you for all your support since we returned in September.

Dear Parents,
As you are aware, South Tyneside is currently under enhanced restrictions due to the Covid19 Crisis.
It is my duty to inform you that parents should not be dropping off or collecting children from other households even if the children are in the same ‘bubble’ at school. These restrictions are in place so the transmission rate reduces.
Please see the link below for full guidance published by South Tyneside Local Authority.
https://www.southtyneside.gov.uk/article/69129/Coronavirus-COVID-19-
This guidance states that residents must not socialise with other people outside of their own household or support bubble in private homes and gardens. A support bubble is a close support network between a household with only one adult in the home (known as a single-adult household) and one other household of any size.
Please support us with this guidance, this will help towards reducing the transmission rate and returning to some normality.
Thank you
Mrs L A Martin
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Maintaining Social Distancing at the beginning and end of the school day.
Dear Parents
As you are aware the R rate within South Tyneside has increased significantly over the last few weeks and added to this we have all been given guidance to follow to ensure we all remain safe. It is my duty to ensure not only our children and staff are protected but also you as my parents and families.
We have staggered arrivals for the start of the day – 8.45-9.05am, therefore there is no need for parents to gather on the streets by the gates. Please stagger your arrival time, there is a 20 minute window for you to drop your child off at the school gate. PLEASE DO NOT GATHER AT THE GATES AND MAINTAIN A 2 METRE DISTANCE FROM OTHER FAMILY GROUPS.
Our new pick up times at the end of the day are from 3pm – 3.15pm
Parents with more than one child – 3pm
Parents of children from Year 1 and 2 – 3.05pm
Parents of children from Year 3 and 4 – 3.10pm
Parents of children from Year 5 and 6 – 3.15pm
We have pushed the times back as the children were missing important parts of their learning. I realise that timings are tight but please can you arrive at the designated time and once you have your child/children leave immediately. I am not permitted to have too many parents on the premises at the end of the day. I understand that these requests do sound harsh but it is to ensure everyone’s safety. Once again please do NOT GATHER and you must maintain a 2 metre distance.
I will review this process in a few days, if it is not working I will have to put in place a one way system, which will mean an inconvenience to many of you, as you will be entering and leaving the premises from different gates.
Please help us all keep everyone safe.
Mrs L A Martin
