Swavesey Primary School Newsletter

Issue 1

Help us fundraise through Easy fundraising here. & Amazon Smile here

Updates from Mrs Norden

As we begin this new half-term we welcome you to our first e-newsletter. Previous to Covid, we used our newsletter 'SPLASH' to communicate events and news to parents and the local community. However, regular email updates (sometimes daily) became a faster more effective way of disseminating the large amount of Covid information, and to keep in touch, as we went into the first lock down in March 2020, especially in the absence of normal school activities.

This new form newsletter links with our website to give you quick easy access to the building information about the school. Each newsletter will contain diary dates within the next few weeks, articles written by children and staff with photographs of events, PTA activity information as well as links to community information and other pages within the website for useful items. Additionally, there is an 'Admin update' section and, while needed, there will be a Covid update box where you can read about any changes or guidance updates.

The link to the latest newsletter will be sent out to you each week, but if you lose this they can easily be accessed through the 'Home' page of the school website through the 'Latest Newsletter' box. The back button on the actual newsletter page will take you to the list of previous issues, so you can refer back to information anytime.

We hope you will enjoy our 'new look' news.

Covid Update

As you may be aware from the media, Cambridgeshire has become an 'Expanded Plan Area' for education establishments. This change has been led by the concerns the Local Authority has raised with the government over the increase in Covid numbers within the county.

As an 'Expanded Plan Area' extra measures are being reinstated in schools to try to reduce transmission. These will be in place until 10th December at which time they will be reviewed.

As a school we have continued to maintain more measures than many and so our adjustments to our present plan are minimal. These are as follows:

1. Staff will return to wearing masks in all communal areas and when entering the work/learning spaces of others.

2. Staff enter work/learning spaces they are not assigned to only where needed to support provision and safety.

3. Only visitors who support curriculum and special needs provision, or to carryout essential premises works, will be allowed within the building.

4. Any outdoor events will have enhanced safety measures.

5. There will be no planned school indoor events involving parents or the wider community to reduce transmission

We realise this will lead to disappointment for families, but safety must come first.

The Yr3/4 parent lunches will be postponed to later in the year, but we will look to alternative options for the plays and carol concert to ensure the children will not miss out on these opportunities.
