Survey – Devices at Home (Y3-6 Parents)

9th September 2020A Rogers

Dear Parents/ carers,

We have been asked by the Department for Education (DfE) and Local Authority (LA) to collect vital information that can allow them to support us as a school, particularly if we go into a local lockdown or schools themselves have to be partially or fully closed. It is really important that we are ready for such an occasion.

We need to ask some important questions which must be answered openly and honestly.

IF YOU HAVE A CHILD or CHILDREN IN YEARS 3-6 ONLY, THEN CONTINUE…

You can access this survey via the following link: https://www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/9Y2L8TL

Alternatively via our Facebook page and clicking the link: https://www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/DBKZ82G

We appreciate your anticipated support with this matter.

This must be completed before Wednesday 16th September.

Many Thanks.

Very Important Information

8th September 2020S Office

Dear Parents/Carers

Thank you for your patience and support today. This morning’s staggered arrival worked well and we will continue with the gates opening at 8.40am for the time being.

However, we had a few issues with collections tonight. Please can those parents who have MORE THAN ONE child in school come to the MUGA at 2.50pm. Once the children have been picked up could you please leave the premises as quickly as possible. The remaining children who DO NOT HAVE a brother or sister in school will remain in their classrooms. Then at 3.05pm, those parents who have children in year 1 and 2, will be asked to go to the MUGA to wait for their children. Once they have been collected the year 3 and 4 parents will be invited to stand on the MUGA for their children at 3.10pm and then at 3.20pm year 5 and 6 children will be dismissed.

Please arrive at your designated time as we are following social distancing guidelines. Especially now, the ‘R’ rate in South Tyneside has increased.

Once again, these procedures we have in place may change – please bare with us.

Thank you again for your support.

Mrs L A Martin

Keep working hard and giving your all in everything you do, we are sure you will be highly successful in your comprehensive schools and look forward to hearing about all of your achievements.

Back to School Games – Day 5

10th July 2020A Rogers

Today’s Bubbles have thoroughly enjoyed participating in the South Tyneside School Sport Network ‘Back to School Games’ ⚽️🏀🏈🎾🏑🤸‍♀️⛹️‍♂️🏆🥇🥈🥉

Take a look at some of their fantastic performances.

Schools across South Tyneside from all year groups will engage in various challenges, over many different sports in school.

It is a great way to stay active, trying out new events and sports, as well as being able to be competitive too. 😃👍

We eagerly await the daily and overall results…
