Please see the letter attached regarding a confirmed positive case of coronavirus at St Mary’s.

We have spoken to Public Health England and the DFE and are following the guidance they have given.

13th November 2020

Please see below an email that I received from Blue Peter earlier this week:

Dear Headteacher,

We would like to inform you that we have launched  at CBBC and we were wondering if your pupils and parents would be interested in this.

Blue Peter is the longest running kids TV show in the world and we are uploading videos to it that are suitable for 5-11 year olds. We have world record breaking challenges, arts and crafts, environmental videos, cooking and baking how tos, inspirational films, gaming, celebrity appearances, dance routines and music performances. We also feature ways of getting a Blue Peter badge, behind the scenes footage and extra content about our incredible presenters Adam, Lindsey, Mwaksy, Richie and Henry the Blue Peter dog.

If you think your pupils would be interested in this, please do send this out to your parents and ask them to subscribe to https://www.youtube.com/bluepeter – (it’s obviously completely free to subscribe!) and don’t forget to watch the live programme on CBBC at 5.30pm every week, or on BBC iPlayer.

 Thanks so much for your time,

The Blue Peter Team!

We hope you all had a lovely half term break, it is such a shame we didn’t have this weather last week.

Unfortunately, we have now entered a second national lockdown, although this doesn’t change how school is operating we must ensure we follow government guidance when on school grounds and within Shawbury community to keep everyone as safe as possible. With this in mind please ensure you abide by the following:

• Please remember that it should only be 1 adult to drop off and collect children from the school.
• Once you have dropped off or collected your child you need to leave the school site immediately and not loiter talking to other parents.
• Please wear a face covering when on school grounds.
• Please ensure your child does NOT go on the school equipment after you have collected them. The equipment has been designated for specific class bubbles.
• If you have more than one child you should collect at the later collection time, children and parents should not be waiting around for siblings.

Thank you and please take care.

Mr Verling

Please open the attached letter from School Shop Direct regarding their opening times etc during lockdown.

Thanks

Covid November 2020 general letter to parents

We would like to wish all our families a lovely half term and hope that you have a well deserved rest. It has been such a busy half term, adapting to all the changes and restrictions not only in school but for day to day life.

We hope you have the opportunity to get out and explore the activities that are taking place in and around Shawbury. Please look after yourselves and others and follow government guidance. We look forward to seeing you all on Monday 2nd November.

Take care and stay safe,

Mr Verling and the St Mary’s staff
