Good morning. School is open today for children booked into our Key Worker groups. Many thanks for your patience.

School will not be open today and there will not be any Key Worker provision. We do not ever take the decision to close lightly and the decision has been made to ensure the safety of our staff and children travelling in the snow. Please keep in touch with the school website for regular updates. Please check Seesaw,our online learning platform, for further information.

To all the children who have been in school in their Bubbles from June we'd like to say a great big thank you for being so wonderful, safe and careful during your time in school with us. You have been an absolute delight to have in school and we are so proud of you. Thank you.

To all our children and families we wish you a great Summer - stay safe and enjoy your time together. We look forward to seeing you all in school on September 2nd. Happy Holidays!

 

More information can be found under Parents>Letters - Whole School.

Will you help us provide emergency food hampers to the most vulnerable children in our community? Urgent action is required as we know 1000 children will not receive a school meal or government Free School Meal funding during the May Bank holiday week. £10 will provide a food hamper for the week The hampers will be delivered to families who normally receive free school meals at our primary schools (Hallam, Hillsborough, Meynell, Southey Green and Wisewood) and our secondary schools (Bradfield, Chaucer, Forge Valley and Tapton).

You've probably seen the news stories of front line NHS workers having to survive on minimal personal protective equipment (PPE) during the Covid-19 virus outbreak.  It has been reported that up to 25% of our front line workforce is currently self isolating, having been exposed to the virus and showing symptoms. There is a shortage of PPE, not just in the front line hospitals, but also in doctors surgeries and care homes. Design and Technology departments across the country are starting to manufacture face shields to protect workers from the infection and we would like to join them. The face shield is one of the most effective barriers for staff to use when in contact with patients.  We have 6 laser cutters at our disposal and would like to manufacture as many shields as we can over the coming weeks, just as virus infection numbers reach a peak. We have a simple but effective design that can be manufactured from two materials and assembled and delivered quickly to the key workers of Sheffield and South Yorkshire.  In order to be able to manufacture as much as possible we need your money to purchase the materials; these are 0.5mm polypropylene sheet and 0.1mm (1 micron) clear acetate, polycarbonate or PVC.  If you are a plastic supplier and are willing to donate these materials then please get in touch.  Your money will be used to help our front line workers when they need it most during this difficult time. Thank you in advance.

There are many reports of adverse weather approaching in the next few days. Please note that we will follow the procedures below in the event of snow.

• We will put information on the school website.
