Hello,
As the UK enters a second lockdown, we have some advice that you can share with the families that you work with. Although schools remain open this time, parents may still be concerned about their child’s emotional wellbeing — we’ve signposted lots of useful resources that can help support families. We’ve also put together some creative ideas to help parents find new ways to mark special occasions during this time.

The Parent Info team
We came in to school on Monday morning, following the high winds on Sunday night, to find 4 of the 6 gazebos we had purchased for our students damaged beyond repair.
We had purchased the gazebos to give our wonderful students a place to shelter from the weather, within their safe bubbles, during the pandemic.
We have received several lovely messages already from supportive parents offering to donate toward the replacement of the gazebos and thought we would open this up to all to raise the much needed funds.
Given the awful weather we are experiencing at the moment we need to raise the funds as soon as possible.
We held a ‘Zoom Meeting’ for our ‘Virtual Open Evening’ on Wednesday 30th September at 6pm, please click on the links below for further information:

As infection rates continue to rise across the county, the Director of Public Health and the Director of Children and Family Services request that face coverings are worn by parents and carers at school pick up and drop off in Leicestershire.
Cases are rising nationally, but there are particular areas of concern in the county, and public health officials are advising residents to be vigilant in all day to day activities. It has been difficult for some parents to maintain social distancing at school gates, and this further measure will help prevent the spread of coronavirus. The advice remains the same: keeping your distance, getting a test only if you have covid symptoms, washing your hands and wearing a face covering where required. Parents and carers are asked to do everything they can to protect their families and friends.
Thank you for your continued support.
