Friday March 5th
We can now look forward to welcoming our KS2 pupils back to school on Monday March 15th. As you will see in the newsletter sent by Swansea’s Director of Education (texted earlier), there are now firm plans in place for this return. Full details of our plan in Waunarlwydd will be sent next week. All the staff and Foundation Phase children are extremely excited to welcome the children back safely. KS2 children will continue to receive online learning and two live check-ins next week!
Although we were missing our wonderful KS2 children, our younger pupils did a great job celebrating St David’s Day and World Book Day in school with some awesome costumes on show! Great work!
Another big thank you to Foundation Phase parents for following Government Guidance (One parent, social distancing, masks) at the start and end of the school day. It is really important that we continue to work together on this as we prepare to welcome back KS2.
Reminder – Lateral Flow Tests for Staff
Staff are continuing to take Lateral Flow Tests, for signs of Covid19 in asymptomatic people, twice weekly.
In the event of a staff member displaying a positive lateral flow test:
- The staff member will need to immediately self-isolate with their family members and arrange for a full PCR test as soon as possible.
- We will notify you of a positive result in your class via text. If the staff member has been in class within 48 hours, children and staff working in the class will be asked to self-isolate until the PCR test result.
- If the PCR test is positive, 10 days self-isolation will be required for staff and pupils identified as close contacts.
- If the PCR test is negative, the class can return to face to face teaching.
- We will notify you of the outcome of the PCR test as soon as possible.
As always, if you have any concerns regarding wellbeing, home learning or any other issues, contact us as soon as possible!
Have a great weekend! Let’s hope the sun keeps shining!
