Living our Values

We are motivated and engaged.  

Well-being 

We have continued with excellent food choices at lunch time and the students are doing really well with their balanced plates.  Please keep these conversations going at home! 

Global Citizenship

Please send in a book if you have not done so yet- we are taking them to the Grapongdaeng School next week!

Learning

Swimming lessons 

In Term 2, swimming lessons will start again for students in Key Stage 1.  Next week, the swim team will use the PE time to give the students an induction into swimming.  They will show them where the 25 pool is, where they change and what is expected of them.  

Next term, your child will have 2 PE days and 1 Swimming day.  On their swimming day, they wear their normal school uniform and have their swimming kit in their bags to change into.  

Swimming days are as follows: 

Tuesday: 1M

Wednesday: 1P, 1K, 1R, 1S

Thursday: 1N, 1J, 1G.  

This week, your child will not be swimming.  They will still need to come to school in their PE kit as normal.  Swimming will begin in Term 2.  

CSL 

The current Hybrid CSL model will continue until the end of Term 1.  At the moment, we wish to support our students’ learning the best we can, but we are moving to a CSL model for the following situations:

• The student’s class/year group is closed for 3 days because of a Covid+ case/s.

• The student is in 14 day isolation because they are Covid+ or a high risk contact.

• The student has been overseas since the beginning of the academic year (August 2021) and is not able to return before 10th January 2022.  

The situations in which we will not provide Hybrid CSL for are:

• The student is on holiday or visiting family, including leaving school mid-term to travel.

• The student is generally unwell. This includes symptomatic Covid+ cases. Once the student is well again, CSL will be provided for the remainder of their isolation period.

• If a student is identified as low risk or no risk.

Other circumstances will be considered on a case by case basis.

For queries, please contact the Primary Office.
