Dear Parents/Guardians & Pupils: There is a lot of confusion regarding the use of E-scooters on our roads across Merseyside. Liverpool has been nominated as one of several cities to trial the rental orange e-scooters operated by VOI and they have been given a temporary VSO (vehicle special order) to allow them to operate and riders to ride E-scooters legally. It is important to understand that Private E-scooters (i.e. any scooters not operated by VOI) have not been given a VSO and are therefore illegal to use except on private land and then, only with landowner’s permission.

Dear Parents and Carers, It is still important that we continue to keep ourselves and others safe. Please continue to follow all Coronavirus prevention guidelines, maintain social distancing and wear face coverings wherever possible. School Testing: Upon return, secondary school aged children will be offered a series of three tests at their school under the supervision of a trained operator. Testing is voluntary, and consent must be provided for your child directly to the school. Following on site testing, children may then continue taking twice-weekly tests using a home test kit provided by their school.

Dear Parents and Carers, Easter 2021. On behalf of the staff and governors I wish you and your families a very ‘Happy, Peaceful and Safe Easter Holiday’. Since we fully re-opened school for all pupils on Monday 8th March we have been delighted with how well children have settled into school life. Over the past two weeks I have visited all the classes to see the children working. I have been very impressed how engaged they have been with their Phonics, Reading, Writing, Maths and other subjects. Teachers have also used this time to assess what children need extra support with in light of school closure during national lockdown…

Dear Parents/Carers, Tomorrow as a special Easter treat for the children, we have arranged for an Ice Cream Van to come to school! All children will be able to choose from: A 99 with a flake and sauce, Mr Bubble Ice Lolly, Orange Ice Lolly, Lemonade Ice Lolly, Mr Snow Milk Lolly. If you do not want your child to have any of these things, please let the class teacher or a member of staff on the gate in the morning know.

Dear Parents and Carers, I hope this letter finds you all well. We will re-open for all pupils, Nursery to year 6. All the staff and I are very happy to welcome back all the children to once again learn and play together. School Uniform – All children are to return to school in full school uniform. Uniform is available in Asda and other supermarkets – children do not need school branded jumpers/ pinafores etc. Children should wear a winter PE kit on their PE days – jogging bottoms/ leggings and sweatshirts as PE will take place outside.
