Letter from Mrs Forde
Fri 10 Jul 2020Dear Parents/ Carers
We hope you and the children are well?
Reports and classes for next year
Hopefully by now most families have received the children's end of year report. If you haven't received them please be reassured that they are on their way.
We have sent an email this afternoon to inform parents of their child's new class teacher and the children should have already received a Microsoft TEAMs invitation to meet their new teachers and find out about their learning during the new academic year.
Staffing update
We will be saying farewell to Mrs Bevan who has been teaching and supporting children at Earlsdon for 20 years and to Mrs Hull who has worked at our school as a Teaching Assistant for 15 years. Both Mrs Bevan and Mrs Hull have decided to retire and are looking forward to spending more time with their families.
Mrs Smith has made the decision to retire from her position as Deputy Headteacher, but will be continuing to work in school to support our curriculum development.
During the Autumn term, Mrs Dooley and Miss Higgs will continue to support our school improvement in their new role as Deputy Headteachers.
At the end of the school year we will also be saying farewell to Miss Bottrill who has accepted a teaching position in Italy, to Mrs O'Reilly who will be returning to teach in the English Department at a local secondary school and to Mr Brar who will also be leaving at the end of this term.
Home Learning
We have received lots of positive feedback this week and are delighted that the children continue to enjoy the range of activities planned for them and that families have appreciated the new planning format. Next week's home learning plans are available on the class pages of the website. We have invited the children to think about transition during their PSHE sessions in school and at home. The reflection PowerPoint, which will be used in school next week, is also available on the class pages
Summer holiday support
As you are aware, school will close for all children on Friday 17th July. Support is available for families during the summer holiday through Coventry's Family Hubs- please see the attached flyer. If you would like someone to talk to or to ask for help or advice the phone line is free to call. For more information please access:
www.coventry.gov.uk/familyhubs or www.coventry.gov.uk/applyearlyhelp

We will be in touch next week with more information about the full opening of school to all children in September.
We hope you have a good weekend and that we all have the opportunity to enjoy some summer sunshine!
Best wishes

This time the farmer has lost a range of animals in the woods, not all farm animals as you will soon discover! Pop along to the woods opposite the Memorial Park to find the trail. Happy hunting!

What a busy week!
Sun 05 Jul 2020What a delightful week we have had, welcoming our Year 1 children to school and having our Reception children back full time. Mrs Dooley enjoyed teaching some PSHE sessions using Teams to the Year 2, 3, 4 and 5 children and this coming week we eagerly await the arrival of our Year 6's.
You should all receive an email later this week welcoming your child the opportunity to join a Teams meeting to meet with their new class teachers.

From Mrs Forde
Sun 05 Jul 2020Dear Parents/ Carers
We hope that you and your family remain well?
We have been thrilled to have the Reception children in full time this week, along side a group of Year 1 children and the 'priority groups'. We are looking forward to welcoming some groups of Year 6 children into school next week to start working on their transition project 'Be Awesome, Go Big!'
In addition it has been lovely to keep up to date with the learning that the children have been sharing on J2E and Mrs Dooley has thoroughly enjoyed meeting some of the children virtually this week- thank you for your support with these activities.
Home learning
You will notice that the home learning plans have changed and activities and video lessons have been organised into a structured timetable. As mentioned in previous correspondence, it is challenging to find a plan and approach that meets the needs of all children and families. We recognise that you may be juggling work commitments alongside home learning and possibly trying to meet the needs of children of different ages. With this in mind, we have included a variety of activities and used recorded video lessons which the children can access at a time that is convenient for your family. In addition there is another values reflection and some PSHE activities on this week's plan- where possible the plans and activities are also being delivered in school.
Summer holidays and the Autumn term
We received an update from the DfE this week explaining that schools are not expected to remain open for vulnerable children and children of critical workers over the summer holiday. As such school will close for all children on Friday 17th July and we will not be running a holiday club at the end of July as originally planned..
Following on from the government's announcement yesterday that schools will open fully in September, we will be working through the current guidance and future guidance to put together a plan for our school. We will provide more information over the coming weeks, but look forward to seeing everyone again at the beginning of the new school year.
Keep an eye on the latest news and gallery sections of our website for useful links and also photos of some children's home learning.
The children may also like to access the exciting activities in this link:
Wishing you a healthy and relaxing weekend.
Best wishes
Mrs Forde
