Thank you so much to our PTA for all of their hard work and energy in organising the children’s Christmas cards. We recognise that there was a delay with the company who were printing the cards but are grateful for all of the time the PTA spent chasing up the delivery. Thank you also to the PTA for their very generous donation of snacks for the children to enjoy when watching the pantomime and also £150 donation for each year group to spend on new resources and games.
There are a few changes to the P.E timetable in January as outlined below:
Monday- Year 3 and Year 6 Tuesday- Year 5
Wednesday– Year 4 Thursday - Year 2
Friday—Year 1
Thank you to everyone for ensuring that the children arrive in school dressed for their P.E lessons wearing a P.E kit in the school colours.
We are pleased that families with children who have free schools have received additional support from the Government through the holiday food vouchers and also through the winter clothing grant which we have used to provide school fleeces. In addition we are very grateful to Earlsdon Methodist church whose generous donation meant that we could provide Co-op gift cards for families and thank you also to the Rapid Relief Team charity who kindly donated food boxes for families to enjoy over the Christmas period.
We understand that there are many more families who are not eligible for free school meals but are experiencing financial hardship. If you are in this position please contact the City Council by phoning 08085 834333 where you can make an application for support or find out more about how to apply for the COVID Winter Grant.

As you may already be aware, schools are required to carry out coronavirus school-based contact tracing up to and including 24th December. To support contact tracing, it is very important that families continue to inform us of any positive coronavirus tests so we can carry out a risk assessment and inform children and adults who have been in close contact. We would like to ask that parents email school using parent@earlsdon.coventry.sch.uk throughout the Christmas holiday period .
Please include this information in your email: Child's name and class ,the date when their symptoms began, the date they had the COVID test, the last day they were in school, if and when they attended breakfast or after school club in the week beginning 14th December and if they have music lessons the instrument they learn.
Whilst we will not need to carry out any school-based contact tracing after 24th December, we would still appreciate being informed if your child has a positive test result over the Christmas period in preparation for our return to school. Thank you
Thank you to Molly our therapy dog, and her owner Kelly, for supporting our children this term.
