Dear Parent/Carer,
We have been advised by Public Health England that there has been a confirmed case of COVID-19 within the school.
We know that you may find this concerning but we are continuing to monitor the situation and are working closely with Public Health England. This letter is to inform you of the current situation and provide advice on how to support your child. Please be reassured that for most people, coronavirus (COVID-19) will be a mild illness.
As you will be aware, our children have been working within class group bubbles. The class affected is 6CC, they will begin 10 days of self-isolation as they have been in direct prolonged contact with the confirmed case.
Yours sincerely
Andrea Tunney
Headteacher
Remote Learning Update
Good afternoon everybody. It has been a trying time for our community over the last 24 hours and it will continue to be a difficult period moving forward. In that spirit, I would like to thank all families who have shown a great deal of patience whilst we have focused on opening our school doors today. As all classrooms and staff have been used to house current class bubbles, staff have been busy working with children in school whilst adapting our face-to-face teaching resources to be fit for purpose moving onto an online curriculum. At this juncture and moving forward, teachers will be doing their best version of a double act to support face to face teaching as well as simultaneously provide a remote curriculum.
All children should have their GSuite credentials and be able to access Google Classrooms where work will be assigned and remote learning take place. Please use each phases’ Expedition websites (links below) to keep up to date with timetables and additional learning resources. Indeed, we ask that children check in remotely on daily hangouts as this will essentially become our virtual attendance register.

Finally, thank you once again for all your support as a community and we look forward to welcoming all our children back into school at the earliest opportunity.

Hello Years 5 & 6,

Please follow the link to our expedition site for Sping 2021, Heroes and Villains (https://sites.google.com/njsch.uk/njsheroesandvillains/home-learning/week-1). Also, please check your emails for information regarding home learning from the 6th January 2021.
*Urgent update following government announcement*
Following the Prime Minister’s announcement, from tomorrow morning, Tuesday 5th January 2021, we will move to remote learning for the majority of our children. Our School will remain open for key workers and vulnerable children as required by the Department for Education. For the families that have been contacted today with an offer of a confirmed pupil place, please send your children in as normal. For any families whose circumstances have changed in recent months and believe they qualify for a school place, please complete this google form. We will be in contact tomorrow morning with details of the remote learning provision and places for those parents whose circumstances have changed and have applied for a school place.
Thank you for your ongoing support and understanding during these difficult times
